Thank you very much.
Mr. Chair, did we not have an amendment, proposed by Ms. Dabrusin, to take out proposed subsections 3(2) and 3(3)?

The Vice-Chair Conservative Larry Maguire
Just for clarity, if I could, Ms. Dabrusin, what we just voted on was clause 1, and that was the part with the proposed new subsection 3(1) in it.

The Vice-Chair Conservative Larry Maguire
Proposed subsections 3(2) and 3(3) were taken out, lines 11 to 16. Now we're voting on clause 2, which is the coming into force.

The Vice-Chair Conservative Larry Maguire
I may want to clarify that with the government side as well, seeing as how they didn't want it to come into force. I think that has changed, but anyway, clause 2 is the coming into force part of the bill.

Let's see the hands, then. All those opposed, please indicate.

Shall the title carry?
Go ahead, Mr. Nantel.

Are we sure of what we're doing now? Clause 2 did not carry. Is that what you just said?

What I understand is we don't need an order of Governor in Council for this to come into effect. It's extra steps.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one here who is confused.

Legislative Clerk
Mr. Nantel, taking out clause 2 of the bill simply removes the idea that the bill would come into force by the application of an order. As a result, the bill will come into force upon royal assent. That is the difference.
