We are now on LIB-28.

Mr. Rogers.

Churence Rogers Liberal Bonavista—Burin—Trinity, NL

Madam Chair, again this has to do with timelines. The amendment is one of several that I'm putting forward to address this issue. It would support timely assessments by setting a clear timeline for establishing review panels. Other than that, it's pretty self-explanatory.

12:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Mr. Fast.

12:35 p.m.

Conservative

Ed Fast Conservative Abbotsford, BC

Madam Chair, this is coming up pretty regularly, and it's being proposed by Mr. Rogers. Mr. Rogers has intimate knowledge of the industry, the offshore industry in Newfoundland and Labrador, and understands this issue. We strongly support these provisions throughout the bill.

I would like a recorded vote, especially on this one.

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

12:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

That was not unanimous, but it did pass.

We're moving to PV-47. If adopted, LIB-29 cannot be moved, because there will be a line conflict.

Ms. May.

12:35 p.m.

Green

Elizabeth May Green Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC

To be brief, Madam Chair, it's the same rationale that I applied last time, but this time, it's relating to the appointment of the roster from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.

Mr. Fast.

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

Madam Chair, I now have an amendment, which is at line 14, so mine would come next.

12:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Are you bringing one from the floor?

12:35 p.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

Yes, my amendment would be to proposed subsection 44(3). I have it written here. I can give it to the clerk.

12:35 p.m.

Conservative

Ed Fast Conservative Abbotsford, BC

What page is it on, which line?

12:35 p.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

It will delete line 14 and replace it with “a maximum of one of the persons appointed under CARA”.

12:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

We're on page 32, and you're talking about line 14.

12:35 p.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

I'm talking about line 14. I'm replacing that with “a maximum of one of the persons appointed under CARA”.

12:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

That's clear.

Mr. Godin.

12:35 p.m.

Conservative

Joël Godin Conservative Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, QC

Madam Chair, could someone give me the reference in French?

12:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Is it different? Do you want to say it in French?

12:40 p.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

Me?

12:40 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

The legislative clerk is an expert at this. He's going to help us out.

Go ahead.

12:40 p.m.

The Clerk

The experts are in the booth, but I will try.

The words “Au moins un membre nommé” are replaced with the words “Au plus un membre nommé” to denote the maximum.

12:40 p.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

Not “at least one”, but “a maximum of one”.
