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?
