Shall the committee order a reprint of the bill as amended for the use of the House at report stage?

The Chair Liberal Ron McKinnon
Therefore, congratulations, everyone. We are finished Bill C-20.
To our witnesses, thank you for the enormous help and for bearing with us through all this time. We deeply appreciate it.
Thank you to our legislative clerks as well, and to our analysts and clerk and to the interpreters who put up with us as well.
Mr. Shipley, do you have a comment?

Doug Shipley Conservative Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte, ON
Yes. Thank you. It was nice getting through this, so thanks to everybody.
Chair, could we maybe have a discussion of our schedule for the rest of the week and going forward?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Ron McKinnon
Yes. My plan at this time is to schedule the trauma-informed counselling for Wednesday. That portion of the meeting will be in camera, and there will be a short period before that for a public meeting.

That's for one hour, I believe. Would it be possible on Wednesday to have a short subcommittee meeting? We've had a lot of motions lately and some things brought in, I know, by the Bloc, so it's just so we can try to plan going forward. Would that be possible?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Ron McKinnon
We actually did a subcommittee meeting and we still have our direction forward, which is—

I thought that was before the Bloc's motion on the automotive issue.

The Chair Liberal Ron McKinnon
It was, but we've already modified our plan to do the study on Mr. Bernardo's transfer, followed by Bill C-26.
Why don't we talk—
Conservative
Doug Shipley Conservative Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte, ON
If we don't want this, I just thought that maybe on that afternoon, if it wasn't the full two hours, we could have a short subcommittee meeting, a 30-minute one.

I would support the idea of having a steering committee meeting for one hour and that we have one hour with the entire committee. I think that would make sense for Wednesday and allow us to schedule better.
I do want to thank the witnesses, who finally get their lives back now. Thank you very much for being with us over the weeks that this bill has taken. You've added invaluable and important testimony that has helped us shape and improve the bill.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Ron McKinnon
Thank you all.
We'll talk about going forward in the next couple of days.
At this point, I think we have to accept success on this bill and carry forward with a victory. Thank you all.
We are now adjourned.
