Thank you, Mr. MacGregor.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being here today and joining us on such short notice. Your contributions are most helpful. They will help us move forward in our study. You may withdraw at this point if you wish to do so.
I would like to remind the committee that amendments to Bill C-70 must be submitted to the clerk by 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time tomorrow. It's important for members to note that pursuant to the order adopted by the House on May 30, the 4 p.m. deadline to submit amendments is firm. This means that any amendments submitted to the clerk after the deadline and any amendments moved from the floor during clause-by-clause consideration of the bill will not be considered by the committee.
The clerk has advised me about the amendments package and when it will be distributed. If there are fewer than 20 amendments, we will probably get it by six o'clock on Friday. If there are more than that, there's an open question of when we will get it.
I would also remind the committee that we'll meet again on Monday at 3:30, and we will sit here until we're done. That will depend on the amendments.
I'd like to thank all of the committee personnel who have stuck with us through all of this. I'm particularly thankful for the ongoing endurance of our analysts, who have been here hour upon hour, and the perseverance of our clerk. A week ago we dumped a massive list on his lap.
