There is no paragraph 8 on any page. Which paragraph is it on which page?

The paragraph just above the one numbered 1 on the second page, I believe, is paragraph 8.

So in keeping with the wording changes that we're making down below, instead of “we would like to”, it would maybe just be “we submit”?
And also—
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Anthony Housefather
Yes, one at a time.
So it would be “Notwithstanding the foregoing, we were pleased to have considered the bill. We have submitted a number of recommendations that we would ask you to consider in your ongoing review.”
Is that basically what you're proposing?

It would read, “Notwithstanding the foregoing, we were pleased to have considered the bill. We would submit a number of recommendations that we ask you to consider in your ongoing review.”

No, it's, “In that vein, we submit a number of recommendations.”

No, I took that out, because if it's “it is in that vein” but the words before that are coming out, I'm not sure it needs to be there.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Anthony Housefather
It could be “Notwithstanding the foregoing, we were pleased to consider the bill” or “We hereby submit” or “We submit a number of recommendations that we ask you to consider in your ongoing reviews.” And we take out all the “woulds”.

[Inaudible—Editor] will be receiving letters from English teachers.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Anthony Housefather
Absolutely.
Mr. Fraser, are you okay with all of those changes?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Anthony Housefather
Does anybody have any comments about these changes or is everybody good with these grammatical shifts? Is everybody okay, of those who are interested in the letter?
So basically, we'll come back to Mr. Fraser's motion on the understanding that of course this will be translated and circulated to the committee to check the translation, to make sure it's correct. Mr. Fraser moved that we approve the letter as we most recently read it out, and again, I will also make sure that we come back with the proper English and fixed wording, so that it's clear in black and white, and we'll come back to it at our next meeting to review.
Those in favour of Mr. Fraser's motion to approve the letter?
