Finance Committee on May 27th, 2014

[Nathan Cullen, NDP, Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC]

We'll hold off until clause 58 for the recorded vote.

[The Chair, Conservative, James Rajotte]

Then we'll now go to the vote on clause 56.

[An hon. member]

We'd like a recorded vote.

[The Chair, Conservative, James Rajotte]

(Clause 56 agreed to: yeas 5; nays 4 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

[The Chair, Conservative, James Rajotte]

Mr. Brison, do you want a recorded vote on clause 57 as well?

[Scott Brison, Liberal, Kings—Hants, NS]

I want a recorded vote on clause 57 as well.

(Clause 57 agreed to: yeas 5; nays 4 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

[The Chair, Conservative, James Rajotte]

I presume you want a recorded vote on clause 58.

[Nathan Cullen, NDP, Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC]

Yes, we'll take just the one. Thank you, Chair.

(Clause 58 agreed to: yeas 9; nays 0 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

[The Chair, Conservative, James Rajotte]

It is unanimous.

(Clauses 59 to 61 inclusive agreed to)

[The Chair, Conservative, James Rajotte]

I want to thank our officials for part 2.

Colleagues, we'll move to part 3, amendments to the Excise Tax Act, 2001, the Excise Tax Act, and the Air Travellers Security Charge Act. This deals with clauses 62 to 90. I do not have any amendments for clauses 62 to 74. Can I group those clauses?

[Nathan Cullen, NDP, Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC]

Would you say that again?

[The Chair, Conservative, James Rajotte]

For clauses 62 to 74, there are no amendments. There's an amendment for clause 75, which is NDP-5.

[Nathan Cullen, NDP, Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC]

Yes, you can group those, Chair.

(Clauses 62 to 74 inclusive agreed to)

(On clause 75)

[The Chair, Conservative, James Rajotte]

We have amendment NDP-5.

Mr. Rankin, go ahead on amendment NDP-5.

[Murray Rankin, NDP, Victoria, BC]

Mr. Chairman, this is essentially the same amendment we sought in the other context about providing for court oversight of the transfer of confidential taxpayer information to the police. It seems to me the arguments I would make are identical to those I made earlier.

[The Chair, Conservative, James Rajotte]

Thank you, Mr. Rankin.

Mr. Brison.

[Scott Brison, Liberal, Kings—Hants, NS]

We agree with this amendment and support this amendment, consistent with the arguments we made earlier.

[The Chair, Conservative, James Rajotte]

Okay. Thank you.

[An hon. member]

Could we have a recorded vote, please?

[The Chair, Conservative, James Rajotte]

We'll have a recorded vote on amendment NDP-5.

(Amendment negatived: nays 5; yeas 4 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

(Clause 75 agreed to on division)

[The Chair, Conservative, James Rajotte]

Colleagues, I do not have an amendment for clauses 76 to 90. Can I group those clauses?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Chair, Conservative, James Rajotte]

(Clauses 76 to 90 inclusive agreed to)

[The Chair, Conservative, James Rajotte]

We will go to part 4 on customs tariff. This includes clauses 91 to 98. I do not have any amendments for this part and for these clauses. Can I group these clauses?

[Nathan Cullen, NDP, Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC]

We have clause 92, and then we're going to see some on division and some in favour.
