I want to thank all the witnesses in this study for the time they've given us. It's very valuable testimony.
That concludes the testimony part of this meeting.
I have a few matters that I want to mention. Witnesses are free to leave if they want to, or they can sit around with us if they would like to see this.
Members, we will be proceeding to the study of the draft report on the government's obligation to the victims of crime. You should receive a confidential first draft tomorrow in order to prepare for Monday's meeting. Hopefully, that will give us enough time. That's what the analysts have told me.
We'll have to adopt a budget to reimburse our witnesses who appeared on Bill C-9 and adopt the revised budget for the trip in March 2023.
I also want to remind you that you have a deadline to submit amendments to Bill C-9: Monday, November 28 at 6 p.m.
Finally, yesterday we received Bill C-291, an act to amend the Criminal Code and to make consequential amendments to other acts regarding child sexual abuse material. We will have to find time to proceed to this study. It is Mr. Mel Arnold of North Okanagan—Shuswap who has presented this bill in the past. At the latest, we have to report the bill 60 sitting days after the date of the order of reference. That is April 26, 2023, so we have some time for that.
Go ahead, Mr. Garrison.
