Getting an earlier date would facilitate a longer debate, if that happens.

Do we have consensus on the closing date being Thursday, November 19, at 5 o'clock?

5:30 p.m.

Some hon. members

Agreed.

Okay. That will give research and the clerks a little more time to prepare the package. Then we'll see how long we're going to take on it.

Can I have a motion on the budget? We have already spent part of the budget on our witnesses today, so I hope we're not going to reconsider it.

Mr. Trost has moved the motion and Madame Brunelle has seconded the motion.

(Motion agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

The Vice-Chair Liberal Alan Tonks

Thank you.

The meeting is adjourned.
