I simply wanted to see, Mr. Chair, if we could get to our witnesses. I would like to respond to my colleague, and we can discuss the schedule, but given that witnesses are waiting, perhaps there is a better time for this.

Many thanks to my esteemed colleague. Mr. Dumas, I found your opening remarks very compelling. I wanted to give you some time to explain the amendments you are proposing in greater detail. You could always explain them in writing after the meeting as well. Your second comment had to do with the definition of child labour in section 2 of the bill. If I understood you correctly, you want to strengthen that definition. I'm very curious to know why. Could you give us more details about that? I'd also like you to tell us about—

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd be pleased to ask the RRSE representative some questions, but I'd like to give notice of a motion first. The motion is this: That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the chair be instructed to schedule the first meeting of the study on women's sexual and reproductive health and rights no later than Monday, December 5, 2022. I give notice of the motion. I am not moving the motion at this time, Mr. Chair. Thank you for your opening remarks, Ms. Chipot. I really liked how you expressed your concerns. You made it very clear that reporting isn't enough, and I quite agree with you. You mentioned the examples of France and Germany, which have due diligence mechanisms. Should we focus more on such mechanisms? If so, can you give us an idea of which organizations would be covered by the due diligence requirement? Are we talking about using the same definition as Germany? What would you suggest to our committee?

Yes, thank you. I don't have a lot of time, so I'd ask Ms. Dwyer to continue.

I'm sorry, but with the limited time that I have.... Who are you proposing that this apply to, the due diligence that you have suggested?

Mr. Chair, I think we could leave you the discretion to figure out when we can discuss this. I think all committee members are interested in having the discussion.
