Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I certainly appreciate the work done by the subcommittee and the clerk in order to have this report here today. Unfortunately, it's already out of date, because, as of today, Bill C-30 was referred to our committee. That means we may need to make some alterations.
Mr. Chair, I'm going to be very brief here, because I know the subcommittee worked very hard to find a consensus. I would simply add an amendment: that Bill C-30 be heard on October 3, which is this Monday; that we receive the minister, officials and the Parliamentary Budget Officer as witnesses, so parliamentarians can ask questions in regard to the bill; and that we allocate resources to do clause-by-clause.
If we could have an extended meeting on Monday, that would be the intention here. The clerk would not be pulling all of his hair out, because we would still have Wednesday to start the pre-budget consultations.
I hope this is considered to be a friendly amendment and we can simply say, if everyone agrees, that we'll work a little harder on Monday night to get that tax relief to the Canadians identified in the bill. Then, I think we can move forward with the rest of the subcommittee report.
