Excellent.
I think we're very close. I just need another, I would say, 60-second suspension to clarify one point.
If the committee could do one minute, that would be quite helpful.

We're back.
We're asking for MP Blaikie to clarify, one more time, exactly what we are looking to get unanimous consent on.

Sure. We are looking for unanimous consent on the motion that I articulated earlier.

I can run through it all again, I suppose, if you like, but I think we're all on the same page.

Very well.
For the pleasure of the members, I propose to change, in the subamendment, in item (b)(i), the date “May 20” to the date “May 27”, and in (b)(ii), the date “May 13” to “May 20”.
In the main motion, I propose changing the date in (b)(i) from “May 20” to “May 30” and the date in (b)(iii) from “May 30” to “June 3”.
In addition, I propose changing the date for the commencement of clause-by-clause, in the heading for item (b), from “May 26” to “May 30”.

I think we're almost there. On point (b)(i), instead of “May 30”, make it “May 27”, to make sure we have resources for clause-by-clause study.

The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca
It looks as though we have unanimous consent on that.
Members, I think we are all in agreement. The motion as amended is carried.

Mr. Chair, I will just say thank you to the members of the committee and Mr. Blaikie, who I think has a perfect batting average on moving some logjams in this place.
Maybe it's lucky socks with flying pigs on them, but hopefully we can have the Leafs win tonight.

Shall we adjourn? All right.
Thanks, members. The meeting is adjourned.
