It seems to me that, with the motion tabled on November 1 by my colleague Mr. Serré, we are caught in a sort of funnel.
Point 1 indicates that the Minister of Official Languages, the President of the Treasury Board, the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship—obviously, the Minister of Canadian Heritage isn't mentioned, although he should be—are invited to appear no later than November 17, 2022.
I would remind all committee members that today is November 15, 2022. So that meeting would take place this Thursday.
Point 2 of Mr. Serré's motion reads as follows:
2. amendments to Bill C-13 be submitted to the clerk in both official languages no later than 5:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, November 17, 2022, and distributed to committee members in both official languages by noon on Friday, November 18, 2022;
Mr. Chair, I feel compelled to say that the best thing that could happen to this committee right now is for my colleague Mr. Serré to withdraw his motion so that we can get on with the real business. So I'm reaching out to him again.
