Justice Committee on May 10th, 2012

[The Chair, Conservative, Dave MacKenzie]

Shall clause 2 as amended carry?

(Clause 2 as amended agreed to)

In clause 3, we have NDP-2 amendment.

Madame Boivin.

[Françoise Boivin, NDP, Gatineau, QC]

Thank you.

You will not be surprised by what I am about to say, but I do not intend to make a long speech. It is just to show you that there was no filibustering here; people were simply exercising their right to express their views on this bill. Every single amendment was proposed in a spirit of both pragmatism and respect for Canadian law. Those are the same arguments, word for word, that were made. I will say nothing more on this.

[The Chair, Conservative, Dave MacKenzie]

Are you done?

[Françoise Boivin, NDP, Gatineau, QC]

I am done.

[The Chair, Conservative, Dave MacKenzie]

Seeing no other interventions, shall NDP-2 carry?

[Kerry-Lynne Findlay, Conservative, Delta—Richmond East, BC]

Can we record the vote, please?

(Amendment negatived: nays 6; yeas 5)

[The Chair, Conservative, Dave MacKenzie]

Shall clause 3 carry?

(Clause 3 agreed to)

We're now at clause 1.

[Kerry-Lynne Findlay, Conservative, Delta—Richmond East, BC]

I guess I have to ask each time for a recorded vote, do I? No, it's fine.

[The Chair, Conservative, Dave MacKenzie]

Shall clause 1 carry?

(Clause 1 agreed to: yeas 6; nays 5)

Shall the title carry?

[Françoise Boivin, NDP, Gatineau, QC]

On division.

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Chair, Conservative, Dave MacKenzie]

Shall the bill as amended carry?

(Bill C-309 as amended agreed to: yeas 6; nays 5))

[The Chair, Conservative, Dave MacKenzie]

Shall I report the bill as amended to the House?

[An hon. member]

On division.

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Chair, Conservative, Dave MacKenzie]

Shall the committee order a reprint of the bill?

[An hon. member]

On division.

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Chair, Conservative, Dave MacKenzie]

Thank you.

[Françoise Boivin, NDP, Gatineau, QC]

Chair, does it mean that if you're not in the House, I have to report that bill?

[The Chair, Conservative, Dave MacKenzie]

Oh, yes, maybe.

[Françoise Boivin, NDP, Gatineau, QC]

Don't do that to me.

[The Chair, Conservative, Dave MacKenzie]

I will report the bill to the House on Monday.

[Françoise Boivin, NDP, Gatineau, QC]

That's not nice.

[The Chair, Conservative, Dave MacKenzie]

We have some committee business to attend to.

Does everyone have a copy of the budget for this particular bill?

Can someone move approval?
