The Vice-Chair Conservative Kevin Waugh
Yes, I need unanimous consent to vote on the estimates.
Do I have that?
Niki Ashton NDP Churchill—Keewatinook Aski, MB
I don't give consent, Chair.
This motion is in front of us. I'd like for this to be dealt with. I believe it's important to deal with this before we finish the legislation, Bill C-316. I think we can do this in the time we have remaining.
Conservative
The Vice-Chair Conservative Kevin Waugh
You could. It's up to you.
We'll continue debate, or whatever you wish.
Go ahead, Mr. Coteau.
Liberal
Michael Coteau Liberal Don Valley East, ON
I have a quick question, Chair.
Is it important that the estimates get approved today? Is there a time requirement?
Conservative
The Vice-Chair Conservative Kevin Waugh
Today is the last day, Mr. Coteau. That's why I asked for it.
Liberal
Taleeb Noormohamed Liberal Vancouver Granville, BC
In the interest of time and our requirement to vote on the estimates, my suggestion would be the following.
We have Mr. Champoux's amendment on the floor, which I understand to be the motion as amended by Ms. Thomas, excluding a date and noting an hour for officials and an hour for the minister. We can vote on that, vote on the main motion and then vote on estimates.
Is that the will of the committee? I want to make sure we're all saying the same thing.
Conservative
The Vice-Chair Conservative Kevin Waugh
Is there any other discussion on that? Is this the will of the committee?
Ms. Thomas, did you have a thought or no?
Conservative
Rachael Thomas Conservative Lethbridge, AB
There's been no formal moving of an amendment with regard to the date or the officials. That would need to be formalized in order to know exactly what we're voting on.
Bloc
Martin Champoux Bloc Drummond, QC
Mr. Chair, I move that “before June 19th, 2024” be stricken from the motion, such that it would read, “the committee invite the Minister of Diversity, Inclusion and Persons with Disabilities to appear for a period of two hours to answer questions related to its Anti-Racism strategy”.
Conservative
The Vice-Chair Conservative Kevin Waugh
Is there any discussion on this amendment?
Seeing none, I will call for a vote.
(Amendment agreed to: yeas 6; nays 4)

Liberal
Taleeb Noormohamed Liberal Vancouver Granville, BC
Can I confirm something? Does the motion as amended include the officials or not?
Okay. Then I would propose an amendment to say that the minister will appear for a period of one hour, with one hour for officials to answer questions.
Everything else remains the same.

NDP
Niki Ashton NDP Churchill—Keewatinook Aski, MB
I would like a recorded vote.
(Amendment agreed to: yeas 6; nays 4)

The Vice-Chair Conservative Kevin Waugh
Now we'll have a vote on the motion as amended.
(Motion as amended agreed to: yeas 10; nays 0 [See Minutes of Proceedings])
