The Chair Conservative Dave MacKenzie

Thank you, Mr. Cotler.

We've come to the end. I'd really like to thank the panel. All of your views are certainly welcome to the committee as we move forward on this. I believe we'll have at least one more day with witnesses, so the bill will be debated even further.

We'll suspend for five minutes to allow the witnesses to leave if they wish. You're welcome to stay. We have nothing in camera.

12:30 p.m.

The Chair Conservative Dave MacKenzie

I call the meeting back to order.

I don't think it'll take us very long, so you can continue discussions afterwards.

The clerk has distributed a budget of $3,300 to deal with Bill C-310, which we've already done. We just need it to pass the committee. It doesn't have to go to the Liaison Committee because it's under the amount. These are the actual costs that were incurred.

Would somebody move the adoption of the budget?

I so move, Mr. Chairman.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Dave MacKenzie

Thank you, Mr. Harris.

(Motion agreed to)

I apologize, as the chair, that I forgot to bring this forward. We did the consideration of the main estimates. The budget has since been passed on interim supply. The clerk has again distributed the document with the numbers in it. If you look through it, there are nine line items. The first amount is the amount that is now reduced by the second column. We need to approve the amounts under the third column. We've already approved the second column.

The interim supply has been approved and now it's going to be the rest.
