Let's just hold fire here. We're trying very hard to give everybody a chance to put forward what they want to put forward. We are on PV-49.

Thank you.
This is to delete the appointment of a roster from the former National Energy Board, currently the Canadian energy regulator, by deleting lines 8 to 15 inclusive on page 33. We eliminate proposed subsection 47(3) in its entirety and don't replace it with anything. Let's try to get these so-called life-cycle regulators out of doing impact assessments.

Again, I'm taking another kick at this particular cat. Under “Appointment from roster”, I would like (3) to read “The majority of persons appointed under—”

It's always interesting to hear the opposing parties, the Liberals, the NDP, and of course the Green Party, bleat about their concern with science and expertise, yet they vote down the very participation by scientists and engineers in these panels. Now the truth finally comes out.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I apologize that you don't have that in writing, but I will happily give it to the clerk. Let me read it first.
My amendment to that same provision, proposed subsection 47(3), on page 33 at line 8 would be to replace line 8 with the following, “A maximum of one of the persons appointed under para-”.

I think that's clear. These are just different ways of trying to do the same thing.
Is everybody clear on what she has suggested?

I'll speak to it.
I have before, so I won't go into any details. This is just ensuring the proper role for life-cycle regulators on the panels.

That sounds good. I think everybody knows where we're at. We've discussed this a few times.
Shall the amended amendment carry?

To make sure that we don't lose track of what we're doing, I would like to go to LIB-76, which we had amended. I wanted to make sure that Linda had her chance to do what she wanted to do.
We amended LIB-76. It was on page 278. I would like to go on this amended one, which is the right way to do things.
Do I have consent?
