Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll beg your pardon on this side, because there are some things here that I don't think we can.... Remember, we talked about blocking out the space here about when we get this stuff done.
Mr. Beech, in here you talk about “4 p.m. on Saturday” to receive the amendments. That's before we're going to hear any witnesses on the Monday. I think the input from these witnesses will be important, so I'm hoping we can say “6 p.m. on Monday” as opposed to “4 p.m. on Saturday” with regard to when we can submit amendments based on the testimony we've heard here.
I'd also like to mention this part of the motion: “d) that at 10 p.m. on Monday, December 13, every question necessary for the disposal of the said stage of the bill shall be put forthwith and successively without further debate or amendment”.
However, we're talking about amendments here, so is that a misprint, or an oversight, or...? I mean, we're talking about putting forth amendments here.
Then it's those two things—those two words...or “amendment”, and the date, this Saturday, to submit those amendments prior to hearing the witnesses. Can we change those, get the Auditor General in here and make sure we have the input we require on Monday?
