It's not in both official languages, so I will be reading it out and giving a copy of it to the clerk. Trust me.

We're dealing with the constraint of having just developed this on the fly.

There's another copy for you.
To Mr. Cullen, before we dispose of clause 10, did you want to hear this proposed clause 11, or do you--

I understand there are negotiations going on, but procedurally it's a bit odd, because it is, in effect, a trust exercise to remove a clause that we previously supported for something I haven't seen yet.

Procedurally, Chair, we could stand clause 10 and then go on to clause 11 and come back and repeal....
Liberal
John Godfrey Liberal Don Valley West, ON
If we just stand it, then we reserve the option of returning to it. Let's do that.
Liberal
The Vice-Chair Liberal Geoff Regan
I think there will be agreement here, I suspect, to stand clause 10.
We are going to come back to clause 10 later. At the moment, we are going to deal with clause 11.
Mr. Godfrey, the floor is yours.
(On clause 11--Departmental Sustainable Development Strategies)
Liberal
John Godfrey Liberal Don Valley West, ON
Clause 11 will be replacing all of the proposed amendments I put forward and that I think the government put forward on clause 11. There is still the Bloc clause, but I hope this will help as well.
Here's what it now says--
Liberal
The Vice-Chair Liberal Geoff Regan
Just a minute, Mr. Godfrey, if you don't mind.
That would mean we would strike, on page 32, amendment G-14; on page 33, amendment L-16; on page 35, amendment L-17; and possibly, depending on what the Bloc decides--and we'll see what their reaction is--we'll look at amendment BQ-1 after that. Okay?
Please proceed.
Oh, there are also amendments L-15.1 and L.15.2, which you proposed today.
Liberal

The Vice-Chair Liberal Geoff Regan
Those would also be set aside, and those would also not be proceeded with.
Mr. Godfrey.

Mark Warawa Conservative Langley, BC
Just give me one second, Chair, because I don't believe amendment G-14 has been struck. You mentioned that.
Liberal
The Vice-Chair Liberal Geoff Regan
No, what I said was that the problem is it has to be moved in any case.
Liberal
The Vice-Chair Liberal Geoff Regan
So if we don't need it, we won't proceed with it. That's the idea.
Conservative
