I just stated my opinion. I feel that 24 months is a long time. I could move a friendly amendment to make it six months. Under the current bill passage process, it would receive royal assent around September. That would give the officials time to put in place what they need. Do I need to draft the motion?

Mrs. Vignola, I'm going to suggest, seeing as we're past our hard stop of 6:15, that perhaps you put that in writing, and we will address that at our next meeting. Colleagues, before I adjourn, I'm going to seek some resources to see if we can fit in some time tomorrow. I'll advise everyone late tonight, or first thing tomorrow morning, if we can continue Bill C-290. If there's nothing else, we will adjourn, and I will see everyone on Wednesday, or perhaps tomorrow. I'll let everyone know first thing in the morning. Watch your emails. Thank you very much. Thank you again for your help, Ms. Laroche, Ms. Stevens and legislative clerks. The meeting is adjourned.
