Good morning, folks, and welcome to the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights as we move to clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-266, An Act to amend the Criminal Code, starring Mr. James Bezan who has come to our meeting.
Welcome, James.
Before we begin, we just have one budget to adopt for the witnesses for the committee who came for Bill C-266. It's in the amount of $2,500. I was just wondering if we could have a motion to adopt the budget for the review of C-266.

Now we will move to clause-by-clause consideration of the bill. We had no amendments that were proposed by anyone, but we'll go through each clause and see if anyone wants to offer any.
(Clauses 2 to 4 inclusive agreed to on division)
Now we move to the short title of the bill. All those in favour of the short title?

That takes us through the bill. The bill is now adopted by committee without amendment, and I will report it back to the House today after question period.

The Chair Liberal Anthony Housefather
All right. I will report it back at 10 a.m.
Is there anything else today that anybody wanted to raise? If not, as you folks know, we'll probably have another meeting when the Supreme Court nomination from Quebec happens, and we'll meet with Ms. Campbell and the minister. As soon as I have a date for that, I will let everybody know with as much notice as I can give.
It's been a pleasure working with everybody. I hope you all have a great day.
This meeting is adjourned.
