Order, order. To the chair, please, to the chair.
My understanding from my clerks is that there is an indication that the bill will be referred promptly to the committee. So in preparation of the fact that it will be here when we return....
We can easily be, as we have been in the past, very lenient about witness lists. If you have any witnesses you want to provide, that's fine. I think at this stage we need to get witness lists in preparation for the continuation of this discussion.
Can I ask you, colleagues, to have those witnesses to our clerk by Monday at 5 p.m. for this issue? Monday is November 5, just to be absolutely certain. Are we in agreement here, on all sides, that it be by Monday at 5 p.m.?
I am just trying to anticipate business of the committee. I suspect the bill will come probably tomorrow. We will not be meeting before tomorrow. If you see the bill, let's start thinking about witness lists there as well so that the committee can be as efficient as possible.
By the way, we're not anticipating a decision by the House. This is just a bill that I know is very likely coming.
I'll go to Mr. Epp on a point of order.
