The Chair Liberal Ali Ehsassi

Before adjourning, if I may, there a couple of really, really minor issues for the members.

Last week, in our haste to get out of here, we overlooked a couple of details with respect to the human rights subcommittee report we are adopting. I want to make sure that there is unanimous consent that the report be entitled “The Situation of Human Rights Defenders, Journalists and Media Organizations”.

I don't think there's any disagreement there.

I also want to make sure of the following:

That the chair, clerk and analysts be authorized to make grammatical and editorial changes as may be necessary without changing the substance of the report.

There is full agreement there. Thank you.

That pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee requests that the government table a comprehensive response to the report.

I see unanimous consent to that. We're almost there.

That dissenting or supplementary opinions be in Calibri 12-point font, left aligned, single spaced, and be submitted electronically, in both official languages, to the clerk of the committee, not later than 5:00 p.m. eastern time on Friday, November 4.
