The Chair Liberal Marc Garneau
Thank you, Mrs. Gill.
Is it my understanding that what you're suggesting, Ms. Idlout, is that we'll accept the preamble as written but that there will be an observation made at some point in the report from this committee?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Marc Garneau
I'll go through my sheet here and do things properly.
Ms. Idlout, are you withdrawing your current NDP-1 amendment?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Marc Garneau
We don't need the “with apologies and with respect”, so we can....
Thank you, Ms. Idlout. Amendment NDP-1 is withdrawn.
I'm going to ask Mr. Battiste whether he will withdraw his motion.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Marc Garneau
Therefore, the new proposed amendment from Mr. Battiste is also withdrawn.
Is there unanimous consent to withdraw the amendment?

Thank you, everyone. Thank you for your spirit of constructive engagement here.
Ms. Atwin, do you want to say a final word?

Jenica Atwin Liberal Fredericton, NB
I would just say a heartfelt meegwetch, wela'lin, thank you to everyone on the committee for this work. It really was in the spirit of reconciliation today. It can only get stronger and help us move forward together.
Perhaps, Mr. Chair, when you do present the bill in the House of Commons, add that observation just to be fully inclusive. I wanted to put that caveat in there.
Thank you.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Marc Garneau
Thank you for the suggestion. That was the case with Bill C-29, by the way, so good.
Thank you.
