With pleasure, Madam Chair.
The people who will be analyzing the amendments to Bill C-7 that members submit will need about 48 hours in which to examine those amendments, to decide if they are procedurally in order and to put them together in a package to be distributed to members so that they can more easily examine each of the clauses of the bill.
If the committee decides to push back the deadline for submitting amendments to this bill to next Monday, it will have to push back the date when it begins to consider each clause of the bill.
If a majority of the committee members do not want such a delay, they will have to stick to the date the committee established, which is tomorrow at 4 p.m. However, additional amendments could be accepted on the morning of Monday, November 16. Those amendments could then be processed as quickly as possible in order to be added to the package going to members of the committee for the consideration that must start next Tuesday.
