We don't always deal in purist procedural terms. I'm quite laissez-faire as your chair, but technically, now that it has been moved, we have to deal with this piece of business. It is unfortunate, but that's what we have to do.
I'm going to read this to you, colleagues:
That the committee report the letters it received from agricultural stakeholders, the Ontario Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, and the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities regarding the 23% carbon tax increase on April 1 to the House for its consideration in debate on Bill C-234.
That is what Mr. MacGregor has moved.
We're going to proceed to a recorded vote on the amendment.
Go ahead.
(Amendment negatived: nays 6; yeas 5)
We will now go back to the main motion. I can repeat this if you want, colleagues, or if you think it's going to be a similar voting pattern, we can just move on.
Mr. Barlow would like a recorded vote.
Okay, go ahead.
(Motion negatived: nays 6; yeas 4 [See Minutes of Proceedings])
Mr. Barlow, you have two minutes left in your time.
