All of it?

6:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Yes.

6:30 p.m.

An hon. member

I can't find PV-25.

6:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

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

PV-25—

6:30 p.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

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

6:30 p.m.

Liberal

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.

6:30 p.m.

Liberal

Mike Bossio Liberal Hastings—Lennox and Addington, ON

You've already ruled on this.

6:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

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

6:30 p.m.

Liberal

Mike Bossio Liberal Hastings—Lennox and Addington, ON

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

6:30 p.m.

Liberal

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.

6:30 p.m.

Liberal

Mike Bossio Liberal Hastings—Lennox and Addington, ON

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

6:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

We didn't vote on this one.

6:30 p.m.

Liberal

Mike Bossio Liberal Hastings—Lennox and Addington, ON

We already did on NDP-27.

6:30 p.m.

Liberal

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.

6:30 p.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

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

6:30 p.m.

Liberal

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—

6:30 p.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

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

6:30 p.m.

Liberal

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.

6:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

There's a line conflict.

6:30 p.m.

Liberal

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.

6:30 p.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

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

6:30 p.m.

Liberal

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.

6:30 p.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

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

6:30 p.m.

Liberal

Mike Bossio Liberal Hastings—Lennox and Addington, ON

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

6:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

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