Hang on a second.

We would want to study this a little bit more, Mr. Chair.

The Chair Conservative Maxime Bernier

You want...?

I'm going to invoke the same thing that Mr. Bachand invoked at the last meeting. We would want to have a closer look at these before we'd agree to that.

The Chair Conservative Maxime Bernier

Perfect.

I guess it's a question of time. We did agree initially that one would go for the other. We could actually vote on all of them if we wanted to.

Do you want to have time to argue them now, separately?

5:25 p.m.

Conservative

Laurie Hawn Conservative Edmonton Centre, AB

No. What I'm saying is that I would like the same consideration that we gave Mr. Bachand the last time. Frankly, we didn't think that one would pass, which would have made the rest of them--

So you want to have a closer look at them?

5:25 p.m.

Conservative

Laurie Hawn Conservative Edmonton Centre, AB

Exactly.

As a suggestion, so that it makes us feel better, Mr. Chair, we can defer and go ahead and pass...because there are no amendments to clauses 11 to 34, we could make ourselves feel good and pass clauses 11 to 34, and then come back to this one, if that's okay.

5:25 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Maxime Bernier

We have a proposal to do clauses 12 to 34 because we don't have any amendments right now. After that we'd come back with NDP-4 at the next meeting.

(Clauses 12 to 34 inclusive agreed to)

That's great.

That will end our work for today. We'll be back Wednesday with NDP-4.

Thank you.

Meeting adjourned.
