Before the committee

Joanne Klineberg  Acting General Counsel, Department of Justice
Philippe Méla  Legislative Clerk

The Chair Liberal Iqra Khalid

Monsieur Fortin, my apologies, sir. I don't think you're wearing a headset and I'm having difficulty with the interpretation.

I am sorry, I don't understand French.

Partially translated

Rhéal Fortin Bloc Rivière-du-Nord, QC

No need to be sorry. I'm the one who is sorry.

Can you hear me?

Translated

The Chair Liberal Iqra Khalid

Yes.

As spoken

Rhéal Fortin Bloc Rivière-du-Nord, QC

That's good.

I wasn't wearing my headset. You were right. It was my mistake and I apologize.

I see that some kind of race is going on and that several committee members are trying to be first to ask that we discuss a motion. So I have just made that request. I wanted to make sure that you would take note of it and that, at the earliest opportunity—today's meeting is over, since it is already 1:16 p.m.—which would be next Thursday, we would start by discussing the motion of which I gave you notice on November 3.

Can we agree on that or would you like me to proceed differently?

Translated

The Chair Liberal Iqra Khalid

Monsieur Fortin, my apologies. The question I had asked the committee members before you started speaking was specifically about seeking the committee's consent to invite the two ministers who are responsible for Bill C-6 for the second—

There's no consent. Okay.

Mr. Virani, I have you next on the speakers list on this.

As spoken

Arif Virani Liberal Parkdale—High Park, ON

Madam Chair, given the time and the patience we have all observed through four meetings of clause-by-clause, I would move that the committee now adjourn.

As spoken

The Chair Liberal Iqra Khalid

We will call the question.

(Motion agreed to: yeas 11; nays 0)

Thank you very much, Mr. Clerk.

Now that I have my gavel back, the meeting is adjourned.
