I call this meeting back to order.
Thanks again, colleagues, for working together on this.
I've asked the clerk to read the portions that have been changed so that we don't have to hear the entire amended motion.
Go ahead, Mr. Clerk. The floor is yours.
The Clerk
Thank you Mr. Chair.

I just want to confirm that it's officials only for in camera and the Minister of Public Safety will be in public.
The Clerk
The language in section (c) was changed from “summon”. The amended sentence reads, "The committee will invite the Minister of Transport, the Secretary of State for Labour, and the Secretary of State for Revenue to testify in this study for a minimum of one hour each.
That completes the changes.
