Clerk of the Committee  Ms. Aimée Belmore

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

I still have it here. I'm sorry.

Thank you, Mr. Méla.

Shall BQ-20 carry?

(Amendment negatived: nays 10: yeas 1 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Now we'll go to PV-5.

Anthony Housefather Liberal Mount Royal, QC

I have a point of order, Madam Chair. It's Anthony.

That one is identical to the previous one, so it was defeated with the defeat of the Bloc amendment.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Is that so, Mr. Méla?

11:30 p.m.

Legislative Clerk

Philippe Méla

It is so, Madam Chair.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Thank you very much. PV-5 becomes moot.

Now we'll go to NDP-20. If NDP-20 is adopted, BQ-21 on page 142 and PV-6 on page 143 cannot be moved due to line conflicts.

Shall NDP-20 carry?

(Amendment agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

We'll go to BQ-21. If BQ-21 is adopted, PV-6 becomes moot, since they are identical.

11:30 p.m.

Legislative Clerk

Philippe Méla

Madam Chair, it appears you jumped a bit.

Since NDP-20 was adopted, BQ-21 and PV-6 cannot be moved, due to a line conflict.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Thank you.

We will remove BQ-21 and PV-6. Now I will move to CPC-22.2.

(Amendment negatived: nays 7; yeas 4 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

(Clause 11 as amended agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4)

(Clause 12 agreed to on division)

(On clause 13)

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

I will note that if CPC-23 is adopted, BQ-22 becomes moot since they are identical. If CPC-23 is defeated, so is BQ-22.

Shall CPC-23 carry?

(Amendment agreed to: yeas 6; nays 5 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

(Clause 13 as amended agreed to on division)

(On clause 14)

Shall NDP-21 carry?

(Amendment negatived: nays 9; yeas 2 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Shall BQ-23 carry?

(Amendment negatived: nays 9; yeas 2 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Shall BQ-24 carry?

The Clerk Ms. Aimée Belmore

Madam Chair, you have the casting vote.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Is it a tie?

The Clerk Ms. Aimée Belmore

It's 4 yeas and 4 nays.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

I will go with “yes”.

Martin Champoux Bloc Drummond, QC

It's an excellent choice, Madam Chair.

(Amendment agreed to: yeas 5; nays 4 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

(Clause 14 as amended agreed to on division)

(Clause 15 agreed to on division)

(On clause 16)

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

We are on BQ-25. If BQ-25 is adopted, then PV-7 and NDP-21.1 become moot since they are identical. If BQ-25 is defeated so are PV-7 and NDP-21.1 for the same reasons.

Shall BQ-25 carry?

(Amendment negatived: nays 9; yeas 2 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

BQ-25 does not carry, and neither do PV-7 or NDP-21.1.

(Clause 16 agreed to on division)

(On clause 17)

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Shall CPC-24 carry?

(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Shall CPC-25 carry?

(Amendment negatived: nays 7; yeas 4 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

(Clause 17 as amended agreed to on division)

I know we're getting close to the end, but do people want to stretch and have a health break, for want of a better term?

Can I get some kind of feedback?

The Clerk Ms. Aimée Belmore

Madam Chair, people are shaking their heads no.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

All right. Then we can keep moving.

Shall clause 19 carry?

11:45 p.m.

Legislative Clerk

Philippe Méla

Madam Chair, you may have skipped clause 18.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

I'm sorry. I did skip clause 18. My eyes are going screwy on me.

(Clauses 18 to 21 inclusive agreed to on division)

(On clause 22)

Shall NDP-22 carry?

(Amendment negatived: nays 9; yeas 2 [See Minutes of Proceedings])
