I don't think we're going to get them before Thursday. Remember that they have to be bilingual, and the inputs will come over the course of the next few weeks. If you're talking about potential changes to Bill C-29, we didn't decide when those had to come.
1 p.m.
The Clerk
I circulated the email.

The Chair Liberal Marc Garneau
I read the email from the clerk. There's an email from the clerk. It has a very good little three-minute video that I encourage everybody to go through, because it spells out how a committee deals with legislation at committee stage. It gives very good advice on the process by which we get to the point where we go through clause-by-clause study of the proposed changes. I'm sure you're very familiar with that.

I want to be clear, Mr. Chairman. All I'm looking for is the amended version of Bill C-29. That's all I'm looking for.

The Clerk
Mr. Chair, the only thing that I circulated was the order of reference that came from Journals. That's all I have.

The Chair Liberal Marc Garneau
It doesn't spell it out. I encourage people who know what changes they may wish to make to Bill C-29 to go through that process that's described in the email as quickly as possible, so that they can be looked at, we can find out if they're allowable and in which form they will be, and then they can be translated and distributed.
That's the process. Is that okay?

Very good.
Are you happy, Mr. Badawey? Very good.
Everything has to happen yesterday. I know, I know.

Go ahead, sir.

Mr. Chairman, I just want to extend an invitation to anybody who would like to come and visit our reservation. Chief Diabo and I are willing hosts and tour guides.

The Chair Liberal Marc Garneau
That's a very kind invitation. Thank you very much, Chief Thomas and Chief Diabo.
It sounds like a full day, because we will have to go to a lot of countries and a lot of places.
Thank you.
The meeting is adjourned.
