Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Since we began the study this morning, I think it would be appropriate at this time to put forward a motion with regard to the framework and the study of this particular bill, Bill C-16. I move:
That the committee begin its study of Bill C-16 on Monday, March 23, 2026, with the first hour dedicated to the appearance of the Minister of Justice and the second hour to departmental officials.
That the committee hold five meetings with witnesses on March 25, April 13, April 15, April 20 and April 22, 2026.
That, following the conclusion of witness testimony, the committee proceed to clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-16 on Monday, April 27, 2026.
I am sending both versions, in French and in English, to the clerk as we speak.
