I can understand. What's happening is that what Mr. Amos is moving, if I have it correctly here in front of me, “must be based on the report with respect to the impact assessment and a consideration”. That one's not the same.

It would appear they are identical. An earlier version we saw was not, and so we—

Okay. So if vote on PV-68, then LIB-45.2 is moot, because we will have voted on the same thing with Ms. May's.

Ms. May, your PV-69 was already dealt with under PV-1, so that one is off.
Now we're at LIB-46, which was already voted on.

My amendment is before PV-69. I have the copies here in both languages.

I am on page 48, at line 19.
It's quite straightforward. This is what I have been calling for consistently and what the witnesses have been calling for. It would be for the factors in proposed section 84. It would replace lines 19 to 31 with the factors listed in proposed section 22. It simply means that if an authority is going to do the assessment, they should do the assessment in the same way the agency would do the assessment, based on the same factors.

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB
I am replacing all of those factors in lines 19 to 31. It's actually to line 33, rather than line 31.
Then it would say, “must include consideration of the factors listed in section 22”.

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte
Does everybody understand what's happening here? She's just amending proposed section 84, taking out all the (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e), and just changing that last line of 84 to “must include consideration of the factors listed in section 22”.
Shall the amendment carry?

I'll speak to that one.
This is an amendment from my colleague, Mr. Bossio, to advance the spirit of reconciliation through this legislation. It's simply taking what we heard from indigenous organizations and expanding the definition from traditional knowledge to indigenous knowledge.

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte
We actually carried.... I think we did. It was the one that I actually did before we stopped doing it. We passed LIB-1, LIB-4, LIB-5, LIB-16, LIB-46, LIB-57, LIB-60, and LIB-62, and it was all about that indigenous knowledge.
Do you want to just check?
It's the only one I thought we did do, but I'm being told “maybe not”. You know what? Let's just do it again.

All right, it's my fault. I thought we did it, but we didn't.
I always have to defer to the legislative clerks. They know what I'm doing.
