Thank you, Mr. Cooper.

In that case, we will call the vote for Mr. Garrison's motion.

(Motion agreed to: yeas 8; nays 3)

Thank you very much, Mr. Clerk.

We will go ahead and have our two meetings on November 10 and November 12 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to complete the hearings on Bill C-7. We do have two meetings for November 17 and November 19 for clause-by-clause. I propose that the deadline for submitting amendments to Bill C-7 would be Friday, November 13 at 4 p.m.

Is that agreeable to everybody?

Can I have confirmation from everybody that you have understood what the next couple of weeks will look like, so we don't run into a similar issue going forward, when we have discussed something and then we forget we have agreed to something. I confirm November 17 and November 19, which is the Tuesday and Thursday, for clause-by-clause, and Friday, November 13 by 4 p.m. for any amendments you would like to submit.

Is that okay with everyone?

I see Mr. Garrison's thumbs-up. I see Mr. Maloney's thumbs-up, and Mr. Kelloway, Mr. Virani, Mr. Scarpaleggia and Mr. Sangha. Can I please have some acknowledgement from Mr. Lewis, Mr. Moore, Mr. Cooper and Ms. Findlay?

Mr. Lewis, I see your thumbs-up. Thank you.

Mr. Moore.
