I would like to nominate my colleague, Mike Wallace.

Thank you, Ms. Boivin.
We're going to do this relatively quickly.
I appreciate that you guys didn't meet last week while I was away. That was nice.
On Wednesday we have the potential for the minister to come before us for the first hour to start the discussion on Bill S-9. The second hour would be for the officials.
I need unanimous consent for that to happen. After that, we will adjourn this meeting and then begin the meeting of the subcommittee on agenda and procedure.
Could I have a motion for unanimous consent for that?

I so move that we start consideration of Bill S-9 on Wednesday, with the Minister of Justice coming for the first hour and the officials for the second hour.

The Chair Conservative Mike Wallace
Are there any questions or comments? Are we all in agreement?
(Motion agreed to)

That's carried, so I will conclude this meeting. Those who are not on the subcommittee on agenda and procedure can leave.
