Yes.

An hon. member

I can't find PV-25.

As spoken

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

It's in there. Keep going. It's after NDP-27.

PV-25—

As spoken

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

What about lines 7 to 10? That's not covered.

As spoken

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

We're going to take a look at it. We're going to carry on. We're going to take a look and see if there's a way you can split it, which is what I'm hearing. If it came all as one, there's a conflict.

As spoken

Mike Bossio Liberal Hastings—Lennox and Addington, ON

You've already ruled on this.

As spoken

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

I know we did. She can't. It's done. Okay?

As spoken

Mike Bossio Liberal Hastings—Lennox and Addington, ON

I'm sorry, Chair, but there's already been a ruling.

As spoken

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Let me just be clear, because I'm trying to be fair. What I'm saying is that we have allowed people to split their amendments.

As spoken

Mike Bossio Liberal Hastings—Lennox and Addington, ON

But this is long after the vote and after the ruling.

As spoken

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

We didn't vote on this one.

As spoken

Mike Bossio Liberal Hastings—Lennox and Addington, ON

We already did on NDP-27.

As spoken

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

I made a determination that, as a whole, it cannot be moved because there's a line conflict. If she is asking for a piece to be split out, I'm okay with that. We've been doing that all along, and I want to be consistent. All right?

We are at PV-25 right now. Ms. May.

As spoken

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

So are you not going to consider that? I just need to know one way or the other.

As spoken

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

I am going to let you pull out (c), because we have done that. If you ask for that, which is what I understand you just asked for—

As spoken

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

That's what I just asked for, but doesn't it go before PV-25?

As spoken

Mike Bossio Liberal Hastings—Lennox and Addington, ON

Chair, I'm really sorry to push on this, but we've already voted on LIB-15, and prior to LIB-15 being voted on, you had already ruled that NDP-27 was out, right? That was prior to the vote, that NDP-27, CPC-1.3, and PV-17 were going to be line conflicts.

As spoken

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

There's a line conflict.

As spoken

Mike Bossio Liberal Hastings—Lennox and Addington, ON

This was prior to the vote. The vote has gone ahead. It was ruled out. I don't know how you can go back now after the vote has already occurred on LIB-15.

As spoken

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

She didn't allow me to speak to whether it should be a [Inaudible—Editor] conflict.

As spoken

Mike Bossio Liberal Hastings—Lennox and Addington, ON

You had an opportunity at that time to speak when it was being ruled out on NDP-27.

As spoken

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

That's exactly when I said it [Inaudible—Editor] rule on that—

As spoken

Mike Bossio Liberal Hastings—Lennox and Addington, ON

No, you did not say that there was an issue.

As spoken

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

I don't want a fight at the table. I'm trying to be—
