Pierre Paul-Hus Conservative Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC
Mr. Chair, to wrap up, I want to say that I am against this amendment because I believe the Liberal Party is trying to promote a foreign policy through a national security bill. It isn't appropriate to try to tell others what to do through Bill C-59.
Thank you.

Sven Spengemann Liberal Mississauga—Lakeshore, ON
Mr. Chair, I'll be supporting the amendment.
I want to take a moment to thank you for your leadership for getting us to this stage of the amendments and for doing such a great job on the process as a whole.

Shall the chair report the bill as amended to the House and sing the “Hallelujah Chorus” simultaneously?

Can I just say for the record that it is The Legend of Big Bill.

The Chair Liberal John McKay
Before I call for the last vote, I do want to thank all of the officials who have gone through this entire process with us. Your contributions are noted and we thank you for them.
I also want to thank you as colleagues for the civil way in which you debated this very important piece of legislation—okay, the occasionally civil way....
I also want to thank Minister Goodale's staff who have been hovering in the background, and Minister Goodale himself. I think this is the way committee should function, to be honest and candid about it. This is important legislative work. You've all worked hard and contributed over many months. You are all to be commended.
With that, I will call the last vote. Shall the committee order a reprint of the bill as amended for the use of the House at report stage?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal John McKay
Do you want a recorded vote on that too?
I'm going to take the chair's prerogative and say that passed.
As for tomorrow, as you know, we have four hours scheduled. At this point, I have nothing to put into those four hours, so unless there's a wild objection to the contrary—
