I'm going to call to order this meeting number 26 of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. As the orders of the day indicate, Bill C-13, An Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Canada Evidence Act, the Competition Act and the Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Act, is being discussed. We have a number of witnesses.
I am going to go over a few administrative things for the committee before we get started, ladies and gentlemen. First of all, here's what we have, based on the witnesses we've invited here, based on the suggestions from all parties. We have witnesses today and Thursday, and then Tuesday and Thursday of next week. Then I've set aside for the week after that two meetings at this point, Tuesday and Thursday, to deal with the clause by clause because I'm assuming that there may be a few amendments and some discussion on them. It could go faster than that, but we have set aside two meetings. So the clause by clause will start on June 10.
Obviously we can move motions on the fly, but I would really appreciate it if you could provide amendments by Friday, June 6, the week before the June 10 clause by clause so that they can be translated and circulated to committee members. That would be helpful.
I want to let you know that the organization Facebook is on a number of our suggested witness lists. They have indicated they're not that keen on coming. We've tried to schedule them and they get moved around and so on. Then they wanted to be represented by an Internet providers association, which is fine. All parties requested that we see Facebook, but I don't think we'll see them live. I think they'll be here by video conference, but at least they'll be here.
I would like to entertain a motion to re-invite them to make sure they understand that the committee really wants to see them on this issue.
Mr. Dechert.
