How about I read the whole thing?
That pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and in view of the alarming escalation of antisemitism and Islamophobia in Canada, the committee undertake a study on the issue of antisemitism and a study on the issue of Islamophobia, and the additional measures that could be taken to address the valid fears that are being expressed by Canada's Jewish and Muslim communities.
That the independent studies include but not be limited to the issue of antisemitism and Islamophobia on university campuses;
That each study should be at least two meetings for a total of four consecutive meetings; that the committee report its findings on both studies to the House; and that the committee request a government response to these reports.

It's unanimous.
Now we're on the main motion as amended.
(Motion as amended agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
That is passed unanimously.
Thank you very much.
I do have to say the following. We request that witness names be sent as soon as possible, up to and including Thursday, April 4. This will allow enough time for the clerk in the weeks that we're not here.

I guess now we'll deal with scheduling.
Okay, that's fine. I assumed that we would be scheduling it as soon as we return, but I suppose we could deal with that at the steering committee level.
Having no other committee business, I will now adjourn and wish everybody a safe rest of today, a safe tomorrow and a safe time when you all go back to your constituencies with your loved ones.
Happy Palm Sunday.
Happy Naw-Rúz.
Happy so many things that are going on and Happy Easter and everything else.
I would ask the members who are on the steering committee to please stay. We will have a 10-minute in camera meeting.
Thank you very much.
