After some thorough discussions, I think we found something that everyone can be happy with.
First of all, we'd like to see Bill S-16 done the week of October 21, on the Monday and on October 24, after we come back from the constituency week. That would require us to move an amendment to the motion from my NDP colleague to say, instead of October 24 on the first one, October 21. We would then have the amendments due on October 22 as opposed to the October 25. We would go into clause-by-clause consideration, then, on October 24.
After that we are going to hear from ministers. Ministers Hajdu, Vandal and Anandasangaree will be here on October 28, which gives us enough time to get to the amendments for Bill C-61 on October 29, with the ability for us to start line-by-line on October 31 and go until we've gone through all of the line-by-line—hopefully—by mid-November. That's what I propose, and I believe we have consensus on that.
