Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I move to amend by unanimous consent the original motion moved by Mr. McCauley to read:
That the committee report to the House that the committee affirms its support for the Auditor General and the independence and integrity of the office, and that the committee also request a government response pursuant to Standing Order 109.

Oh, now I have to do that in French. I think you should do it.

Here is the motion in French:
Que le Comité fasse rapport à la Chambre qu'il affirme son soutien à la vérificatrice générale et à l'indépendance et l'intégrité de son bureau et que le Comité demande également une réponse du gouvernement conformément à l'article 109 du Règlement.

I see that we have unanimous consent. That's excellent.
Is it the will of the committee to adjourn the meeting?

I'm sorry, Madam Chair, I have one quick point of order.
I think we have unanimous consent to amend the motion. Now I think we need to confirm that we have unanimous consent to adopt the motion, so we don't have that hanging thread.
Maybe I just missed something. I want to make sure that we have formally adopted the motion, and then we adjourn.

Thank you very much.
