Environment Committee on May 10th, 2018

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

Given that this is on the table for discussion and we're voting on it, I'd like to not have to go back to it. I'd like to have unanimous consent of the committee to go to those other amendments and make that vote for the subamendments.

[Ed Fast, Conservative, Abbotsford, BC]

It's just the subamendment.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

It's the subamendment to those, yes.

[Ed Fast, Conservative, Abbotsford, BC]

Right, and then we come back to them down the road. Is that right?

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

What I am being told is that to do it we need to go to those clauses, then move the subamendments and then move the clauses. If we're going to do it, I need consent to be able to do that. You can't just do the subamendment and let it sit. You have to do the clause.

[Ed Fast, Conservative, Abbotsford, BC]

What are you going to do, then?

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

What I want to do is go to LIB-33 at this point and do the subamendment that's being proposed right here, and then we'll have to vote on that amendment.

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

Okay, I have an amendment I want to do from the floor for line 8, which goes before line 15.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

I know. What we're asking is to have unanimous consent to put this in the bill properly so that it's not just sitting in one place, but being done in all places. And then we'll come back to the regular progression of the clause.

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

No, because my amendment is different, and mine should come first because it's line 8. This is a—

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

Okay, is your amendment affecting LIB-33?

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

No.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

So I'm coming back to yours. We're just trying to go to LIB-33 and deal with that one and LIB-76, so that there is consistency in the bill of how we're doing this.

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

Okay, so if we're just doing LIB-33—

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

—and LIB-76.

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

But not if we're doing the other ones.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

We're coming back.

As long as I have agreement, we're going to go to LIB-33, please, so turn in your books to LIB-33, which is on page 153. We will be coming back to those others. They're not being denied a hearing. I'm just trying to make sure there is consistency here.

We have LIB-33, and Mike has put a subamendment to LIB-33 on the floor, which is exactly the same as what we did for LIB-30.

Is everybody with me?

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

It's not making sense to me what the provision says.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

Mike, do you want to bring LIB-33 on the floor?

[Mike Bossio, Liberal, Hastings—Lennox and Addington, ON]

Once again—

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

It doesn't make sense the way it's drafted.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

Linda, are you not sure what we're trying to do?

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

I am looking at what LIB-33 says.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

Okay, but first—

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

“After line 15 on page 33”; it makes no sense what's being proposed.
