Canadian Heritage committee  Yes, sir, I will, once I clarify exactly which amendment to send.

Canadian Heritage committee  Mr. Rayes, can you read the reference number of the amendment, please, so that I can make sure to send the correct amendment to the committee members?

Canadian Heritage committee  Mr. Waugh, please do correct me to make sure I have this written down properly. You propose another invitation be sent to the justice minister and officials for either Tuesday or Wednesday of next week—and the days will be put in when the minutes are written—and we continue with the expert panel on Monday, May 17.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, sir.

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes, sir. We have Janet Yale, Pierre Trudel, Dr. Michael Geist and Andrew Cash.

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes, sir. Can I just confirm, Mr. Waugh, if you did want me to read the motion as it was adopted?

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, sir. As adopted Monday, May 10, 2021: That the committee: (1) Ask the Minister of Justice to provide a revised Charter Statement on Bill C-10, as soon as possible, focusing on whether the Committee's changes to the Bill related to content uploaded by users of social media services have impacted the initial Charter Statement provided, in particular as relates to Section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you, Chair. You're doing quite well. What Mr. Simms was saying is that if it's the desire of the committee at this point to deal with the unanimous consent provision in order to allow itself the latitude to reopen decisions that were already taken, you can't really circumvent that without having unanimous consent.

Canadian Heritage committee  No, I agree with Mr. Méla. It's very clear what the consequence of this new provision would be, and it wouldn't be in conflict with any of the rules about taking and reopening votes. As a side note, just in the last 30 seconds I received the amended version, but I have it unilingually.

Canadian Heritage committee  I did clarify to the committee, because there is no option to adjourn debate on the amendment without adjourning debate on the motion. That's why I clarified.

Canadian Heritage committee  Certainly, sir. It's just to say that a motion, once it has been moved by a member, belongs to the entire committee. Therefore, a member does not have the right to unilaterally decide that they do not wish to move that motion anymore. As it belongs to the committee, unanimous consent of the committee is required to be able to withdraw it.

Canadian Heritage committee  Just to be clear, adjourning debate on the amendment effectively adjourns debate on the entire motion.

Canadian Heritage committee  If you'd like to give me just one moment, I'll find the actual page number and I will get that right back to you.

Canadian Heritage committee  Would you prefer that I do the procedural advice or the sound check?

Canadian Heritage committee  The answer is that debate usually resumes from the point where it was left, which would be.... The last point we were at was when Ms. Dabrusin's amendment was on the floor.
