My question was along the same lines as Paul's. I trust your word, but can we formalize a little bit what you have said so we have this in a sense as a formal motion?
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Dean Allison
What I'm hearing you say is you want to ask for unanimous consent to withdraw your amendment. Do I have unanimous consent for that?
(Amendment withdrawn)
When we come back, we'll look at formalizing a motion. We'll word it out, and we can present that to the House as well.
That will take us now to our stood clause, which is 2, because both 3 and 1 were defeated.
Does clause 2 carry?
(Clause 2 agreed to)
We'll now move to the schedule. Shall the schedule carry?
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Dean Allison
On the short title, shall clause 1 carry?
(Clause 1 agreed to)
Shall the title pass?
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Dean Allison
Shall the bill as amended carry?
(Bill as amended agreed to: yeas 6; nays 5)
Shall I report the bill as amended to the House?

That concludes the work on Bill C-6. I want to thank everybody. I want to thank our witnesses, and I want to thank the committee members.
Since this is our last meeting before Christmas break, I want to take the time to thank our interpreters for the great work they do, and all the support staff around here who do great work, and of course our clerks and our analysts for the excellent jobs they do on a daily basis in a non-partisan way and very professional way.
[Applause])
That is it. We do not have any business in particular picked out for the new year yet. We're going to have to look at that when we come back, or we can have some discussion.
Mr. Dewar and then Ms. May.

I just want to clarify that we're continuing the work we've been doing.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Dean Allison
Absolutely. We haven't scheduled anything yet.
Go ahead, Ms. May.

Mr. Chair, I just wanted to thank you. I have been running from committee to committee under the new rules. It is the new Stephen Harper exercise plan I'm on. I run from committee to committee. I often miss things. Generally I run in order to be able to make a 60-second intervention, and I'm not allowed to answer questions. Anyway, your chairing of this and your use of your discretion as chair to allow me to participate more meaningfully is deeply appreciated.
Thank you.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Dean Allison
Thank you very much.
Is there anything else?
If not, I wish everyone a great Christmas season, safe holidays, and all the best.
No, there will be no meeting on Thursday.
With that, the meeting is adjourned.
