The motion is carried, so we will move this to the subcommittee to plan the scheduling.
Seeing no other business, I'll call a meeting of the subcommittee for Wednesday. We can take a lot of the information we have and develop the plan to come back the following Monday for early approval, and then move forward.
Mr. Volpe.

On a point of clarification, the minister had asked this committee to defer further discussions on Bill C-37 until such time as he and his department had compiled an acceptable list of amendments for the committee's deliberation and consideration.
Would you be so good as to write back to the minister on behalf of the committee and say we appear to have already accorded you this request, but we assume this means the rest of the committee can also submit amendments?
I don't see any objection by the government side, so I'm assuming that everybody is in agreement.

If Mr. Volpe wanted to bring this matter forward next week we'd have a much better idea of what's going on. We could have an answer for him.

You're asking me to agree with the parliamentary secretary. He and I always see eye to eye when we're sitting down.

Wonderful.
As there's no other business, the meeting is adjourned.
