Okay. That is duly registered.
Are there any further comments?
I see none.
Before we go to clause-by-clause, I will just update the committee with a little bit of information regarding the incident at the end of last meeting. The chair has had discussions with the Sergeant-at-Arms. The clerk is also having discussions, and there is an ongoing investigation with the superintendent of our emergency planning. The chair will report back to this committee with further information. Of course we will do so in camera at that time for security reasons. I just bring that to your attention so that you feel comfortable that the matter is being looked into at this point.
Thank you very much.
Colleagues, we will now go to clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-44.
Pursuant to standing order 75(1) consideration of clause 1, the short title, is naturally postponed until after the clauses are all moved. Should there be any variation in the title, consideration of that will be postponed. So at this point we will go directly to clause 2.
(On clause 2)
Mr. Easter has an amendment I do believe.
