It was exactly the same subamendment, just reworded. Can we not update the wording considering the speed at which we're running through this?

The Chair Liberal Scott Simms
I understand. Yes, I'll let that pass. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do that or not, but nevertheless given the small, minute details of what you're talking about, why not?
Can I have the will of the committee to proceed that way?
12:45 p.m.
Some hon. members
Agreed.

Thank you so much, everybody. For the sake of clarification, can you read the new and improved subamendment of yours?

You mean the shiny new one? It reads:
The Commission may facilitate those negotiations at the request of either of the parties to the negotiations.

Does everyone have an understanding? We'll now go to a vote.
Shall Ms. McPherson's subamendment to amendment G-9 carry?
I heard a no.
Mr. Rayes, was that you who said no?

Mr. Rayes, what was proposed was carried but on division.
Do you want to have a recorded vote?

The Chair Liberal Scott Simms
Okay.
(Amendment as amended agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4 [See Minutes of Proceedings])
The vote on G-9 applies to G-16, as I mentioned earlier, so if you're following along in your hymn books, folks, we now go to BQ-21.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to make sure that I've understood. The committee has just adopted amendment G-9, although the Conservative Party voted against. As a result, amendment G-16 is set aside and we're done with this amendment. Is that correct?
12:50 p.m.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Scott Simms
No. Basically what has happened here, Mr. Rayes, is there are two amendments, and the ruling from the table was that they were consequential, one depending on the other. They are G-9 and G-16, and because we passed G-9, that will also apply to G-16, which is further ahead in the agenda.
I'm not sure what page it is on in your agenda, but if you race ahead there you'll find G-16.
