Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to say something before we go to the vote.
The amendment was proposed with the spirit of the act in mind. In my opinion, we should seize this great opportunity to promote the French language, even outside Quebec, and to give francophones outside Quebec the possibility to have access to justice in a way that is appropriate.

Thank you, Ms. Lattanzio.
Since no one else wants to comment, I ask that the clerk proceed to the recorded vote on amendment LIB‑11, as amended.

I see that time is running out, but I would like to propose something to the committee members.
Do we have the committee's unanimous consent to extend the meeting by 10 or 15 minutes?
I see that some people are refusing; they probably have other obligations. So we don't have unanimous consent.
Before we go any further, I definitely need to discuss the famous travel budget request.
I'll let the clerk speak to that, but I think this part of the meeting needs to be in camera.
So I'm going to suspend the meeting, so that we can go in camera.
The meeting is suspended.
