If there's no further discussion, I will call for a vote on the amendment.

(Amendment agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4)

(Motion as amended agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4)

I have one final item, members. I need direction on a deadline for submission of proposed amendments and a date for the clause-by-clause consideration of the bill currently under consideration by the committee, Bill C-215.

Can I get some direction from the committee on amendments—we're under a tight timeline—and a date for the clause-by-clause?

I have a question, Chair. We have a number of studies that need to go line by line, and we're anticipating a study here around Bill C-22. Is there an opportunity for there to be additional meetings than what's currently scheduled for HUMA?

It's within the committee's domain.

Yes, Madame Chabot.

Mr. Chair, given the timelines, I believe that we should start our clause‑by‑clause consideration of Bill C‑215, which deals with sickness benefits, as quickly as possible. I don't think we should delay any further. We can go back to the items on the agenda afterwards.

The Chair Liberal Bobby Morrissey

Okay. I'm getting consensus that it be as soon as possible, so I will consult with the clerk and I will send out a notice to committee members.

With that, thank you, committee members. The meeting is adjourned.
