My final point is that I think the service standards are very doable. The commission has the ability to prolong them, if it chooses to, but setting those standards necessitates, on the government side, adequate funding of this commission, and we have had concerns raised about the lack of appropriate resourcing.
I think this sends a signal from the committee and ultimately from Parliament that this commission, to work properly, has to be adequately resourced, and a one-year performance standard that can be extended is an appropriate measure to ensure that those standards are met and that justice is not delayed in the case of complaints that come through the process.

Thank you, Mr. Julian.
Are we ready to vote on Mr. Gaheer's subamendment?
(Subamendment agreed to)
We now go to Mr. Julian's amendment as amended.
(Amendment as amended agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
I think it's a good time to adjourn. I'll note for the CPC that you guys are up next.

Amendments CPC-5 and CPC-6 are going then? Oh, that's right. They would go, because it was carved out of....

NDP-6 has carried, and CPC-5 and CPC-6 cannot be moved. You're right.

Mr. Chair, I'm not sure of that, because the service standards were taken out of NDP-6, so I think there is scope for CPC-5 and CPC-6 to be considered.

Yes. I thought that if CPC-5 was adopted, then CPC-6 couldn't be moved due to a line conflict. It's my understanding that we have to deal with CPC-5.

Mr. Chair, I think CPC-5 and CPC-6 can still be considered, and they're in clause 8, so I would suggest that we just start again at our next meeting on clause 8.

That's fair enough.
We'll sort this out here, and we'll carry on from where we left off the next time.
That being said, thank you, all.
Thank you to our officials, once again, for being with us. We look forward to your participation every time, and we are now adjourned.
