LIB-30.1?

1 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Yes. Let's make sure we know what we're doing.

1 p.m.

Liberal

Mike Bossio Liberal Hastings—Lennox and Addington, ON

That was withdrawn.

1 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

That's withdrawn, sorry.

LIB-30 passed, LIB-31 is withdrawn, and we're now at PV-48.

1 p.m.

Green

Elizabeth May Green Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC

This deletes an entire section found at proposed section 46, on page 32, which conveys to a review panel the exercise of powers that are conferred on the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. This is, again, related to a series of witnesses we had, who urged that we keep the review panels separate from exercising powers of energy regulators.

1:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Thank you very much.

Shall the amendment carry?

I'd like a recorded vote.

(Amendment negatived: nays 8; yeas 0 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

1:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

On PV-48.1 please, Ms. May.

1:05 p.m.

Green

Elizabeth May Green Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC

This is, again, one of the series that I put forward earlier under the chapeau that had my friends on the Conservative side so excited.

This is to restrict the number of people sitting on a panel on matters that are before what we used to call the National Energy Board, and it's that that no more than one person from the Canadian energy regulator can be appointed to that panel, and that person cannot be the chair.

1:05 p.m.

Conservative

Ed Fast Conservative Abbotsford, BC

I'd like a recorded vote.

(Amendment negatived: nays 8; yeas 1 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

1:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

We move now to LIB-32.

Mr. Rogers.

1:05 p.m.

Liberal

Churence Rogers Liberal Bonavista—Burin—Trinity, NL

Again, Madam Chair, in the spirit of timelines, this is pretty self-explanatory. It's to try to keep the timeline tight, advancing it to 45 days.

1:05 p.m.

Conservative

Ed Fast Conservative Abbotsford, BC

I'd like a recorded vote.

(Amendment agreed to: yeas 8; nays 1 [SeeMinutes of Proceedings])

You skipped my amendment.

1:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

What?

1:05 p.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

I've said it 1,000 times. I did an amendment to line 8 on page 33. I was going to do it from the floor.

1:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

I'm trying to keep up.

1:05 p.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

I know, and I thought you were coming back to me.

1:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

I intended to, and that's why I had delayed voting on those other amendments. If I have unanimous consent, we'll go back and introduce what she wants to introduce.

1:05 p.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

There is no point because you went to Ms. May's instead of mine, and it was voted down anyway.

1:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

I appreciate that, and I do apologize.

Where were we? LIB-32 has passed.

Linda, you were on page 33.

1:05 p.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

I am on page 33.

1:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

You were on line 8.

1:05 p.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

Wasn't Ms. May's second part....

1:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

It's coming up. You can still do yours, okay?
