I just want to let you know that the legal opinion that Mr. Bedard talked about will be distributed. He did have it in both official languages.
What we need to do now is move three motions that will help in terms of letting people know, and certainly the clerk in terms of trying to get amendments in.
The first motion we have before us is that the members of the committee submit to the clerk all of their proposed amendments to Bill C-257 no later than February 14, at noon. Mr. Silva will move that.
The reason is that we have the council in on the 13th. What will happen is that if we get hundreds of amendments, we may have to go all day Thursday. But it is still on, right now, that we're going to start on Wednesday afternoon, on the 14th. So that's the case. I don't anticipate a ton of amendments, but stranger things have happened. But we do need to set a timeline. Those amendments can be tabled now.
If there's no discussion on that, I will just call the vote.
