Thank you, Mr. Davies.

That exhausts the speakers list on the subamendment, so unless there are any other interventions we're now going to proceed with the question on the subamendment.

I just want to be crystal clear on exactly what the subamendment is. The clerk is now revising the last email that was sent out, because it included a reference to the office of the clerk, which I don't think is what Ms. Gladu moved. My understanding of the subamendment is that it would delete, after the word “available”, the words “at the clerk's office for viewing by committee members only, for one week to be designated by the committee”, and would delete, after the word “contracts”, the words “under the supervision of the clerk and that no personal mobile, electronic or recording devices of any kind be permitted in the room that week; and that no notices be taken out of the room.”

What we would be left with after the subamendment is the following, “that, when these documents are received by the clerk, they be available no later than 30 days following the receipt of the contracts.”

I have a point of order.

It's very close but not quite. It is, “that, when these documents are received by the clerk, they be available to committee members no later than 30 days following the receipt of the contracts.”

Is everyone clear on the wording of the subamendment? Is the word “only” to be included in the subamendment? The word “only” is there now. Does that remain? Is it “viewing by committee members only”, yes or no?

Conservative

Marilyn Gladu Conservative Sarnia—Lambton, ON

There's no “only”. It's so it could be viewed.

12:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Sean Casey

That word should be removed as well. That's part of the subamendment.

12:35 p.m.

Conservative

Marilyn Gladu Conservative Sarnia—Lambton, ON

Yes. That's correct.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Sean Casey

Is everyone clear on the wording of the subamendment, or do you want to see...? Do you want another email with the wording that we've just discussed?

It's actually being sent as we speak.

Are we ready for the question?

12:40 p.m.

Conservative

Marilyn Gladu Conservative Sarnia—Lambton, ON

Yes, I think we should call the question.

I see nodding heads.

The question is on the subamendment. All those in favour of the subamendment, please raise your hands.

Chair, given the confusion I think we should have a recorded division.
