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.

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.
