Colleagues, the proposed subamendment is defeated.
Now we will vote on the amendment as proposed, which is Mr. Turnbull's suggestion of eight years for subsection 1(2.1) as opposed to 10 years, which I guess is what we'd get to in amendment CPC-2.
(Amendment negatived: nays 6; yeas 5 [See Minutes of Proceedings])
The amendment is defeated, so we will turn our focus to the last proposed amendment—
Pardon me for a moment.
Okay. I was a little in haste to go to what is actually essentially a new clause that is being proposed in the amendment, so the clerk will explain to you that we have to see whether or not clause 1 as amended carries.
I see Mr. MacGregor's look of confusion. It was mine as well, as I heard from our legislative clerk.
Essentially, all the amendments to date would impact what's called “clause 1”, which is the actual text of the bill. What you're proposing in CPC-2 is an actual brand new clause, so I have to ask whether or not you want to accept everything to date on the four amendments, and then we will go to CPC-2.
Did I get it right, Mr. Legislative Clerk?
My law degree at Dalhousie has come to some use. Here's a shout-out to Dalhousie University.
