Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I just wanted to clarify two things, as the committee has re-adopted an old report that it's going to present to the House. That's fine.
However, if the committee does want to have a government response, it usually makes a specific request by motion, something to the effect of that, pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee requests that the government table a comprehensive response to the report. I just want to clarify if that is the intention of the committee.
Also, when adopting a report, members have the option to present dissenting or supplementary opinions. That's provided for in the Standing Orders. The only question that the committee has to decide on is a deadline for the submission of those. While it would seem somewhat irregular that they can present a dissenting or supplementary opinion to a report that has already been adopted, it is in the Standing Orders.
I put those two issues to the committee to ask if the committee wishes to decide on those tonight before we move forward.
Thank you.
