I would like to make a motion. The bill will automatically be sent back to the House this week. It is an important bill, and we have spent a lot of time on it. I would just like to move: “That the committee resume its work and proceed to clause-by-clause study without debate”.

I am going to repeat what I said earlier. Given the importance of this bill, which is going to be automatically sent back to the House, and given that the only time we have left is the next two hours, I am making a motion that we move directly to clause-by-clause study.

The Chair Conservative Gary Schellenberger
We are debating clause-by-clause. We're on Liberal amendment 1. So I think the motion is irrelevant.

The Chair Conservative Gary Schellenberger
But isn't that what we're doing now? We're doing clause-by-clause.

Why not? If we decide that's what we want, that's what we decide as a committee.
