Are we adding or substituting something?

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Gary Schellenberger

It's adding additional witnesses.

This my fault. I've gotten a little mixed up here. I've let you guys get me out of control.

This is how the motion will read with the amendment:

That the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage invites witnesses from organizations who have utilized the Court Challenges Program and from organizations who have applied and were not successful.

(Amendment agreed to)

5:35 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Gary Schellenberger

Now we vote on the motion, as amended. I will read it again:

That the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage invites witnesses from organizations who have utilized the Court Challenges Program and from organizations who have applied and were not successful.

As chair I will say that this committee has the right to put names forward for witnesses. I think that's part of what the committee is about. As for picking the witnesses, let's bring it back to the committee. I have no problem with that.
