In relation to our LIB-33, we're talking here about avoiding the majority of life-cycle regulators on panels, so that's going to address the concerns of many stakeholders.

I am looking at it and I want to speak to the way they're amending it, and I'm saying that it's not making sense to me. If they can make sense of it, I have no problem with what they're trying to do, but I'm looking....
Nobody has yet spoken to how...on line 15, where are the words, “the persons”?

It says, “before the words, the persons”. Where does it say “the persons”?

It says, “after line 15 on page 33 the following: “(4) The persons appointed from the roster must not constitute a...”. They're adding a section after that line 15.

No, that's a subamendment. We're looking at the LIB-33 on page 153 of your amendment binder.

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte
No. There's a subamendment to the amendment. We're on the amendment.
Linda, are you with us? We're on the LIB-33 amendment.

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte
It has been introduced on the floor now by Mr. Amos, and Mr. Bossio would like to make a subamendment, which we distributed with the one we did for LIB-30.
Go ahead, Mike.

Once again, it's the same idea. We also want to limit it so that the regulator will not be the chair of a review panel either.
We're proposing, therefore, to amend amendment LIB-33 by inserting at the beginning of its proposed new subsection 47(4), before the words “The persons”, the following words:
The chairperson must not be appointed from the roster.

And I raised my objection before. I had an amendment at line 8, and this amendment is at line 15.
Isn't that the way it works?

It is. I'm just asking for unanimous consent to...and you said yes, so we're looking at this one.
Yes, you're right, because line—

Never mind; we're changing the rules. We're supposed to go in order of the clauses.
