Thank you, Madam Chair.
I do wish to speak, but my colleague Kevin Waugh has had his hand up from the beginning, so I wonder if you might call on him.

Yes, Mr. Bittle, I know that you have spoken, and some people may wish to agree with you and some people may not agree with you.

No, Madam Chair. On a point of order, I moved a motion to adjourn debate, and there's no more debate on that.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
Did you move a motion to adjourn debate? I didn't get that you had moved the motion.
There is obviously no discussion.
Yes, Mr. Waugh.

Kevin Waugh Conservative Saskatoon—Grasswood, SK
I have a point of order.
I moved the motion. I haven't even talked about the motion. I think, Madam Chair, that you should at least give me that before we move to closure here.
I did it in advance and gave everybody the notice of motion. I'm sorry that maybe you didn't get it in time, but I would like to speak to it, if that's okay.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
Mr. Waugh, your motion is in order. Go ahead and say what you need to say.
There was a motion to adjourn, which should be considered.

Kevin Waugh Conservative Saskatoon—Grasswood, SK
I also think the notice of motion should be considered.
It says that the committee hear from Justice Cromwell prior to Hockey Canada's announcement of its new board and chief executive officer.
Madam Chair, the only amendment I would make to this is that it has to be done before December 17, when the new board will be sworn in for Hockey Canada.
We've heard four meetings already from Hockey Canada. Let's hear from the person who did this study on safe sport and who did the final independent governance review before the new board is sworn in with Hockey Canada on Saturday, December 17. I think that would be appropriate.

Chris Bittle Liberal St. Catharines, ON
Just to clarify things, even though we should probably proceed to the vote and have no more debate, I'd like to withdraw my motion. We can just proceed to a vote if we can take the Conservatives at their word that they don't wish to filibuster this anymore.

Thank you, Madam Chair.
We truly do wish just for this to come to a vote. I'm fine with that.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
Thank you very much.
I will ask the clerk to call the vote, please.
It's amended to say before December 17.
Mr. Tolmie, we are going to the vote now, unless you feel you want to say something important and different.

Madam Chair, how are you taking that vote from people virtually?
I put my hand up just to say that I'm in favour of this motion.
1:15 p.m.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
Yes, but we haven't called the vote yet, Mr. Tolmie. We're calling it now.
The clerk will, obviously, recognize the people who should be voting on the motion.

We'll go ahead with the vote.

Thank you. It's unanimously passed.
Thank you, Mr. Waugh, for that motion.
We will now proceed to clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-18.

I'll be very quick, Madam Chair, as I'm very excited about getting on to clause-by-clause.
I note that the intention of the order would be to have each of the clauses carry once we've considered amendments.
I would suggest—I hope my colleagues would agree—that we go through the amendments and then we go back to approving clause-by clause. An amendment approved in one clause does have an influence on how we may treat another clause.
1:15 p.m.
NDP
Peter Julian NDP New Westminster—Burnaby, BC
I'm always uncomfortable with doing it simultaneously. I'd prefer a full pass on the amendments and then a full pass on adoption of the clauses.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
Thank you very much, Peter.
Does anyone disagree with that? Is everyone in favour of that process?
