Thank you very much, Ms. Davidson.
I want to take a moment to thank the officials for appearing today and for providing us with some insight into Bill S-3.
Mr. Cleary.

Mr. Chair, can I ask whether the witnesses can come back, considering that we had an hour of a committee meeting that was eaten into by other business?
12:55 p.m.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Rodney Weston
That's all right.
I was going to say that if you have any amendments to Bill S-3 for this committee to consider, please submit them to the clerk before our next meeting so they can be considered on Thursday.
Also, as we approach any amendments that might come forward, I was going to ask if you want to have the witnesses back so they can provide some counsel to this committee before we proceed into clause-by-clause study.
On Thursday my intention is to return to Bill S-3, and I would like to have any proposed amendments come to the clerk before Thursday so we can consider them. We will hopefully have the witnesses return again on Thursday.
Mr. MacAulay, do you have something that you want to add?

We would hope so, because they're very informed, and we need it.

Just for clarification, am I right in thinking that if there are any proposed amendments, they would need to go to the clerk today so that we would have 48 hours to look at them before Thursday?
12:55 p.m.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Rodney Weston
That's a good point. If you have any amendments, please get them to the clerk today. Sorry, I said before Thursday, but yes, there's the 48-hour notice that is due before amendments can be considered, so if you have any amendments, please submit them to our clerk today, who will circulate them to all members after he receives them.
Mr. MacAulay.
