Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As you know, a notice of motion was filed, and my understanding is that the clerk has distributed the motion in both official languages. It is as follows:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 97.1, the committee request an extension of 30 sitting days to consider BillC-223, an act to amend the Divorce Act, referred to the committee on Wednesday, February 4, 2026;
That the committee requires additional time to hear from witnesses and complete its study of the bill; and
That the Chair report this request for an extension to the House.
