Mr. Chair, I just want to reiterate the fact that we don't have much time left to work on the report on the circumstances surrounding the death of Ms. Levesque.
We're having a hard time agreeing on motions, and it's taking a long time. We have so much to do that I think it's unrealistic to expand the scope of the study, especially since we only have two meetings to do it. If we had plenty of meetings, I would have agreed, but given the situation, we don't really have the time or opportunity to do that.
So I would suggest that we focus on the current motion so we can vote on it, then continue our work on the report on the death of Ms. Levesque because there isn't much time left in the meeting.

Yes it is, sir.
I don't know if I was misreading, or had a note here that ended up.... The motion that we passed actually has a provision for three meetings in June, potentially, of the CSC or Levesque study, going to June 21, when there's no possibility of anything being translated to get the report to the House. If June 9 is reserved for the CSC study, then I would be okay, but if I'm wrong, then we have three meetings in June, after the seventh, which are for either the CSC or Levesque. That means that CSC is only tentative. I would like to ensure that at least one meeting be guaranteed, particularly since we are not going to get a report from the Levesque study back to the House.
Now that we're on the main motion, I'd like to amend the main motion by suggesting that one of these meetings be reserved specifically for CSC. I'd prefer the ninth, but I'd accept the 16th.

Chair, I think if we check with the clerk, I said that June 9 would be the CSC.

That's what I was just going to say. That's what my notes say as well. I want to confirm.

Those were my notes as well, although I could always double-check with the blues, once they're published.

We can, indeed.
(Motion as amended agreed to: yeas 11; nays 0 [See Minutes of Proceedings])
That was a painful path to unanimity, but here we are.
As I was about to go into in camera, can you give us instructions on that, Mr. Clerk?
6:25 p.m.
The Clerk
Yes, Mr. Chair.
You will need to suspend the meeting while we set up the in camera Zoom. I will now send out the connection information to all members about connecting to the Zoom meeting. It's a different Zoom, and it has the in camera protections afforded to it.

With that, we are suspended. See you shortly.
