Alexander Vronces  Executive Director, Fintechs Canada

Clerk of the Committee  Ms. Miriam Burke

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound

I understand, Mr. Perkins, that you will send the motion to the clerk, and it will be distributed for members to review.

As an aside, I had already planned for one more meeting on October 31, given the number of witnesses and given that the motion calls for at least four meetings. I took the liberty of calling a meeting on October 28 and October 31, so there are two more meetings that I have scheduled.

We'll wait for the motion to be distributed perhaps or....

Mr. Turnbull, do you want to intervene?

Ryan Turnbull Liberal Whitby, ON

I just want to get a copy of it, and then I will ask for a short recess so that we can review it.

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound

Yes.

Before I suspend, I will just thank the witnesses. We're nearing the end of the meeting in any event, so thank you very much for making the time.

I wish all the witnesses a good rest of the day. I hope there won't be any more snow in Calgary.

On that note, the meeting is suspended.

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound

I call the meeting back to order.

We've all had the chance to review the motion put forward by Mr. Perkins.

The motion is before the committee.

Are there any questions or comments on the motion?

I see none. Do I need to call a vote, or is there consent around the room?

(Motion agreed to)

That is wonderful.

Just so you know, colleagues, I already have some meetings planned. Notably, there's one on Monday, October 28, with all of the banks. It might be six or seven meetings. We'll see how it goes, but I consider that to be at the chair's discretion.

Thank you very much.

I also want to thank you for being understanding about my late arrival.

The meeting is adjourned.
