Thanks, Madam Chair. Congratulations on your election. I'm looking forward to working with all members of the committee.
With respect to the amendment proposed by Mr. Duncan, this allows us only to achieve exactly what the order of the House has prescribed and is consistent with discussions among the House officers of all recognized parties in the House. I appreciate that the specific language in front of us may be new to some of the members at the table, having just seen it for the first time. We'll undertake to provide amendments at the earliest possible opportunity to all colleagues at the committee, going forward. I expect that this language will be supported by the other party whips, because this is in keeping with the order from the House and allows us to have all committees stood up before Christmas.
If it is possible for us to continue on and deal with the other items, that's perfectly fine, but it's certainly imperative that we ensure that the order of the House is fulfilled in spirit and in writing.
Thanks.
