Thank you very much, Chair.

Thank you for the amendment from the Bloc and the NDP as well.

We agree that Bill C-61 is extremely important, and we do want to get it done as fast as possible and do the due diligence here. Therefore, we will accept the amended motion as presented:

That the committee invite the Minister of Indigenous Services Canada, the Minister of Northern Affairs and the Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations to appear before the committee for no less than two hours—

It's one committee meeting.

—within 14 days of the adoption of this motion in relation to their priorities for the return of Parliament and their mandates.
