Thank you, Mr. Whalen.
Thank you to each and every one of the witnesses. Thank you particularly to Mr. Jeffery, who got up a bit early just to join us.
Colleagues, I'm going to continue with the meeting but will ask the witnesses to leave.
As you can see, we have less than 30 seconds of our allotted time left. I may be able to have some discretion in running over for a moment.
Colleagues, we are at the end of our allotted day for this particular bill. We are ready for clause-by-clause. I also have a motion before me from the Conservative Party for a 30-day extension. I also have an amendment put forward by Mr. Martin on this item.
The chair is therefore in your hands as to how we proceed with this particular bill at this time. I am open to suggestions. We could deal with the amendment first. You could introduce yourself, read the amendment into the record, and give us your opinion on it.
I suppose the first question, ladies and gentlemen, is whether we go to clause-by-clause at this time. Is there any point in debate, or should we just vote on whether we go to clause-by-clause at this time?
Go ahead, Mr. Warkentin.
