Providing a copy to this committee would help us a great deal.
Do you have a deadline as to when you're going to try to conduct it?

Chief Electoral Officer, Elections Ontario
It won't be until next March. We're in the process of it now.

Thank you very much for coming. We had a lot of questions. There was a lot of great information you provided. It's a big operation. We really appreciate that. It's quite relevant to our study.

Welcome back to the 121st meeting of the committee on procedure and House affairs. We're in public.
I had a request to distribute the amendments. Is anyone opposed to the legislative clerk distributing the amendments he's received?

Only the good ones....

I guess the obvious question is, are they in both official languages?
Okay, yes. All right.

We'll assume this is the deadline for submitting amendments, but people can always bring them to the floor.
We were debating the scheduling of Bill C-76, and subamendments and amendments.
Mr. Reid.

Mr. Chair, if you don't mind my starting this, I could just start talking about it, but I think it makes more sense to do this as a point of order, if you'll forgive me.

The wording of the initial motion was:
That the Committee commence clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-76 on Tuesday, October 2, 2018 at 11:00 a.m.;
This, of course, is now a point that is in the past.

I would amend it so it is just more logical, so that the committee would commence clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-76 on Thursday, October 4, at 11 a.m.
The rest of the motion would remain the same.

What are the rules on changing something like that? Does it require unanimous consent, given that we're debating an amendment to this?
