Thank you, members. It has been adopted.
Also, for Bill C-228 the clerk has requested that our independent member is to submit any amendments in both official languages no later than 6 p.m. on Thursday, October 27, 2022. If everyone is okay with that, we will follow the same deadline, so get any amendments in by this Thursday at 6 p.m., please.
Is everybody okay with that? Terrific.
