Unless we.... Anyway, the floor is Ms. Murray's.
You guys know the procedure here when we have bells. Under Standing Order 115(5):Notwithstanding Standing Orders 108(1)(a) and 113(5), the Chair of a standing, special, legislative or joint committee shall suspend the meeting when the bells are sounded to call in the Members to a recorded division, unless there is unanimous consent of the members of the committee to continue to sit.
Is there consent to sit?

Mr. Chair, I understand that this is likely to be deferred. We could adjourn for a few minutes and just wait here and see what happens. My understanding is that it's going to be deferred.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I was speaking to the motion of Mr. Warawa. I have plenty more to say, but I think the best time and place to do that is in a clause-by-clause debate, so I'd like to move that the committee proceed to clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-469.

We'll have a recorded vote. All those in favour?
(Motion agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
The motion is carried, so we can go to clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-469.
Pursuant to Standing Order 75(1), consideration of the preamble and clause 1 are postponed, so I will now call clause 2.
(On clause 2)
I have been advised by our legislative clerk that I'm going to stand clause 2 because there are things later on in the bill that will affect clause 2. Since there are some repercussions down the road, we're going to stand clause 2 and move to clause 3.
(Clause 2 allowed to stand)

Wait, please. I'm getting advice here.
We're not on amendment NDP-3. We're on clause 3 of the bill.
