Thank you, Chair.
I had proposed a friendly amendment to the French version of the motion.
It's to remove the words “at least” from paragraph (c)(iii) so that the amended text of the paragraph reads as follows:
(iii) the Chief Electoral Officer, for one hour,
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Chris Bittle
The amendment is in order.
There is no opposition to that friendly amendment, so we'll go back to the main motion.
Is there any further discussion on the main motion?
The only other point is that it's not a tight timetable, but in order to get it done, can we have witness lists or initial witness lists by Friday, November 21, by the end of business? We will take witnesses after, as we always do, but it will be a good opportunity to get the ball rolling, especially since there will likely be a meeting on December 12. There may not be a meeting on December 12, but whether or not that happens is well above all our pay grades. I will just put that out there.
Is this something that can be agreed to on division?
(Motion agreed to on division)
Thank you.
Before we go, I'll turn this over to the researchers.

It's up to the committee, but on the readoption of the report, Laurence and I were wondering whether the committee would like to see a paragraph saying that this was decided by PROC in this Parliament or whether it could just be left as last Parliament's report. It's just for the reader who would see it in the 44th Parliament and the 45th Parliament and go, “Oh, what happened?” That's up to the committee.

My take is that, based on the written report, does the committee want an addition to say that we, the future 2025 PROC, have—

The Chair Liberal Chris Bittle
It's as part of an intro. I think that seems reasonable.
I don't see any serious shaking of heads, so we'll go with that.
The motion as amended is adopted.
Thank you so much.
Seeing no further business, we stand adjourned.
