Great.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I know we're out of time for our session, so I'll conclude my questions there.

The Chair Liberal Iqra Khalid

Thank you very much, Mr. Garrison.

I'd like to take the opportunity now on behalf of our committee to thank this wonderful group of witnesses and panellists. Thank you for your input.

I would like to remind members that the deadline for amendments is December 9, by 9 a.m. If you haven't already submitted amendments, please make sure you do so before that deadline.

Now I'll pass it over to Mr. Clerk for some remarks.

December 8th, 2020 / 1 p.m.

The Clerk of the Committee Mr. Marc-Olivier Girard

Thank you very much, Madam Chair.

I just want to inform the committee that it has received nearly 300 submissions on Bill C-6. That's a huge number. About 260 submissions are currently being translated.

I would like to thank the committees directorate's administrative team that is handling the processing of all those submissions, especially committee assistant, Natasha Filoso-Timpson, who worked all of last weekend. I would also like to thank the Translation Bureau's entire team that, despite being very busy these days, has been working very hard to translate all those submissions.

The vast majority of submissions should be ready in time for the clause-by-clause study of the bill, but some 30 briefs will be sent after December 10.

Once again, I thank everyone for their tremendous efforts.

1 p.m.

The Chair Liberal Iqra Khalid

Thank you very much for that.

Seriously, it was really wonderful. Thank you for all of your hard work and for keeping us going. We really appreciate it.

With that, the meeting now stands adjourned.
