I have just a quick comment, just to get the Conservative position on the record.
We've seen that with the experimentation with the decriminalization of drugs, we have people dying from coast to coast in the opioid crisis. We've seen that so-called legal drugs, government-subsidized drugs, have been traded for harder and harder drugs, making the opioid crisis worse. Conservatives strongly stand against this amendment.

Hold on, Chair. I have one quick point.
Given the fact that we've put in so many extra hours yesterday and today, could I just mention that for Thursday's meeting I would recommend that perhaps we don't meet, and instead consider meeting the following week? I think that will give us enough time to have all the meetings we had agreed to.

Yes. It is regarding.... I wanted to ask you or the clerk a question, Chair.
We've given Mark “carbon tax” Carney ample dates to attend this committee. I just wanted to confirm whether he has accepted our gracious request that he show up, since he will be the next Liberal leader.

Mr. Chair, I'd like to ask a question that's related to what Mr. Turnbull is proposing.
We've voted on the matters we're going to study, but the government will soon be tabling its capital gains bill.
Can he tell us on what date the committee will begin considering that bill and how many meetings he thinks we'll have to devote to it?
