We have some committee business to deal with.
I might say that, in my view, we can now take a letter to the finance committee, which is seized with the jurisdiction of actually considering the clause-by-clause of this particular bill and entertaining amendments that they may or may not pass. This committee's job would be to have reviewed the process and the clause-by-clause, free to make any recommendations or any proposed amendments. That's as far as we can go.
I would propose to take a letter to Mr. Rajotte on behalf of this committee, thanking him for his letter inviting our committee to consider the subject matter of Bill C-45 and other measures, and more specifically the subject matter of clauses 219 to 232.
There are basically, in my mind, two options. One of the options would say that, after hearing from the witnesses and considering the provisions contained in clauses 219 to 232, the committee wishes to inform him that it has no amendments or recommendations to forward to the standing committee. Or, in the alternative, it would say that it does submit the recommendations and amendments attached.
Those are the two options. I'm open to a motion for either option or to hear discussion on those matters before a letter is drafted.
Ms. Leitch, go ahead.
