Thank you, Mr. Ripley.
Are there any further questions or discussion on this issue? Seeing none, I shall call the question.
(Amendment agreed to)
(Clause 27 as amended agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4)
(On clause 28)
Now we're going to go to clause 28. The first thing would be CPC-23. Now if CPC-23 is adopted, G-3 cannot be moved due to a line conflict. The adoption of CPC-23 would render G-6 and G-8 inadmissible, if moved, as they would be contrary to a previous decision by the committee as stated on page 771 of the House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition.
The committee's decisions concerning a bill must be consistent with earlier decisions made by the committee. An amendment is accordingly out of order if it is contrary to or inconsistent with provisions of the bill that the committee has already agreed to, if it is inconsistent with a decision that the committee has made regarding a former amendment, or if it is governed by or dependent on amendments which have already been negativized.
This is clear to everyone. The ones I mentioned here, which are G-6 and G-8 are on page 82 and page 87, just to clarify in case you're wondering where those were.
At the moment, if CPC-23 is adopted, G-3 moves off the table.
Shall we begin? Let's see how many minutes we have on the vote. We have two minutes and 32 seconds before the bells. Did you want to try to go with CPC-23? No. Everyone wants to suspend, so we will suspend for about five minutes so that people can vote.
