I will suspend, then.

Ms. May, according to the routine motions, you can move an amendment, but you cannot move a subamendment. Also, someone on the committee will have to move this on your behalf.
Is there anyone on the committee who wishes to move the subamendment?

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
Mr. Nater is moving Ms. May's subamendment.
Ms. May and Mr. Julian have spoken.
Is there anyone else who wishes to speak to the subamendment?
Yes, Mr. Méla.
Legislative Clerk
Would it be possible for Ms. May, or Mr. Nater, since he's the one moving it, to repeat exactly where it goes?

I can do that again.
Madam Chair, I regard many of the things we've done to allow virtual sessions to improve process, but being unable to have a paper copy of something I'm trying to amend is rather challenging.
Here is where I would put it, as we now have the definition of community element, “community element includes the element of the Canadian broadcasting system as part of which members of a community participate in the production of programs that are in a language used in the community, including a predominantly not-for-profit or community-owned broadcasting undertaking that is managed by a board of directors elected by the community”.

All right.
I'm going to call the question on the subamendment, unless anyone wishes to speak to it.
Yes, Mr. Méla.
Legislative Clerk
If I may, I'm going to repeat the amendment, so I'm sure I have a proper version. The amendment with the subamendment would read, “community element includes the element of the Canadian broadcasting system as part of which members of a community participate in the production of programs that are in a language used in the community, including a predominantly not-for-profit or community-owned broadcasting undertaking that is managed by a board of directors elected by the community”. Is that it?

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
Is everyone clear on that?
The question is on the subamendment. Those in favour?

The motion from Mr. Julian was not amended, since the amendment was defeated.

The second subamendment was defeated, yes.
Now we're going to move to the amended motion.
Please, Clerk, will you call the vote?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
Mr. Julian, it's a question of whether it was a new amendment or an amendment to your original motion. If it was a new amendment, we don't have to go to the amended motion, because it was inherently amended by the amendment.
Is that it?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
All right. We're now going to move to.... Clause 2 we've already...there was a decision. There was an interpretation of a decision.
Mr. Méla, can that...? That's from Mr. Champoux.
Can we entertain that, Mr. Méla?
