Thank you, Chair.
As you know, this committee has a mandate to complete the current study by October 22. That's the reporting deadline. That's an extremely tight deadline, which means that we need to complete the meetings that have been scheduled for this. The final one I believe is scheduled for October 8, this Thursday, which leaves exactly 10 business days for the analysts to complete their report. The report has to then be approved by this committee, including the recommendations, and submitted to the House. That's an extremely tight timeline to finish the work we've been tasked with on this particular study.
Also, as you'll recall, even before the summer break, we were into the buy Canadian study, which right now is particularly relevant to Canadians and particularly relevant to my community in Hamilton. My colleague opposite, MP Gaudreau, also had a study that she proposed on the National Capital Commission procurement regarding the Official Languages Act, which we're also interested in bringing back and was far in advance of this.
Unfortunately, Mr. Chair, that leaves us in no position other than to move to adjourn debate on this motion.
