The amendment I want to move relates to Mr. Serré's main motion.
After point four I would add the following paragraph: “5. subject to the approval of the Whips of the recognized parties and the availability of meeting times of the House of Commons, that the Committee hold additional meetings in order to undertake the clause-by-clause study of the bill;”
Then the old point five would become point six, but the words “Thursday, December 1, 2022” would be replaced with the words “Thursday, December 8, 2022”, which would be the new deadline for the completion of the clause-by-clause study. That way, we would give ourselves a total of six meetings and we could potentially have longer meetings or even more meetings between now and then.
We sent a copy of the amendment to the clerk so that she can forward it to the committee members.
