In concluding my remarks, perhaps Mr. Godfrey or somebody else might think of some creative ways to kind of work around or address this issue to some degree without actually remunerating these people, but still honour them, recognize them, and affirm them in doing some pretty important jobs, in my view.

We're talking, then, about L-9, on page 18. I think everyone knows what we're adding to that, or changing.
(Amendment agreed to)
(Clause 7 as amended agreed to)
(On clause 8--Preparation)

The Chair Conservative Bob Mills
We'll move on to clause 8. We have a number of amendments here: G-9, G-10, L-10, L-11, L-12, L-13, and L-14.
We shall begin then with G-9 on page 19. I should add that if G-9 is adopted, G-10 cannot be put. There's a line conflict. I don't think you're going to keep track of all of this. We'll ask the clerks to help us do that.
I'll just read it, and then we can work our way through it. There's a line conflict with L-10, L-11, L-12, L-13, and L-14. If G-9 or G-10 are adopted, L-10, L-11, L-12, L-13, and L-14 cannot be put.
As I say, I think rather than everybody trying to remember all of that, we should begin by working our way through this. Unless you want me to repeat that much more slowly and....
There are some problems with the different amendments.

You are saying there's a conflict, Chair. After we deal with amendment G-9--

Conservative
The Chair Conservative Bob Mills
If we deal with amendment G-9 and it's adopted, then amendment G-10 cannot be put, and now we have line conflicts in some of the other amendments.

I guess part of it is whether they are going to go with amendment G-9 or amendment G-10, because they have submitted both of them.
4:45 p.m.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Bob Mills
That is what they have to resolve.
Do you see what's happening there? Amendment G-9 and amendment G-10 replace the whole clause, so obviously then all of the other ones don't....

Yes, but there's only one.... I was planning to do some withdrawing anyway. It's all good. There's only one there that I'm questioning.

The Chair Conservative Bob Mills
Order. Does everybody know where we are? We're on clause 8, and we're dealing with government amendment G-9 on page 19. You haven't moved it yet.

Mark Warawa Conservative Langley, BC
I think it has to be amendment G-9, because we've already decided on the three years instead of five.

They're exactly the same except for the numbers, aren't they?

Hold on. I believe amendment G-9 says five years and amendment G-10 says three years.

That's right, but they refer to two different aspects to be adopted under the three years. It's not the same.
