I will remove the word “traditional” because that seems consistent with what has gone on.

Yes, with what we've done before.
We're doing NDP-70 with the word “traditional” removed.
Mr. Arnold.

Madam Chair, the terminology in here is somewhat subjective. The term “reasonable” could open it up for interpretation in many different ways. I don't believe it's relevant.

If I may respond to that, it's very common language used in legislation, to simply say “reasonable exercise of your discretion in appointments”. It's meant to make them more comfortable.

No. It's not flexible. It means in a reasoned way. You look for diversity in a reasoned way, not in any extreme way.

—with a recorded vote with “traditional” taken out between “indigenous” and “knowledge”.

We're now on PV-96.

Madam Chair, on a point of order, that previous motion was amended. Was there a vote on the amendment to remove the word?

She moved it by taking out “traditional”. I accepted that and brought that forward for a vote.

Madam Chair, I won't belabour this again. It's to follow the distinctions-based approach to ensure that one commissioner must be appointed from each of the groups—first nations, Inuit, and Métis.

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte
If amendment PV-96 is adopted, PV-97 can't be moved because there will be a line conflict.
We'll vote on PV-96.

Madam Chair, it's an attempt to do the same thing, replacing the line by “a member of a First Nation, or Métis or Inuit.”
While it's not the same, it distinguishes the groups. There's a distinctions-based approach, but it's in the alternative as opposed to being cumulative.
