Environment Committee on May 22nd, 2018

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

Shall the amendment carry?

[Scott Reid, Conservative, Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, ON]

I would like a recorded vote, please.

(Amendment agreed to: yeas 6; nays 3 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

We're on LIB-73, which is the other one you were doing, Mr. Rogers.

[Churence Rogers, Liberal, Bonavista—Burin—Trinity, NL]

This one in particular supports the commitment that no project would be sent back to the beginning of the process. Again, it's in line with the other amendments in terms of the transition process.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

Shall the amendment carry?

Would you like a recorded vote?

[Scott Reid, Conservative, Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, ON]

Yes, please.

(Amendment agreed to: yeas 5; nays 3 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

We're on LIB-74, which is Mr. Fisher.

Wait a minute, we're into clause 3. We had one pending thing we were going to go back to, which was a definition. It was NDP-40.1, and it was to add the definition potentially into the beginning of that section.

Linda.

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

I have to find it again in all this.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

We'll figure it out.

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

If you have it there that would be helpful because I have so much paper here.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

I'm just looking. We're going to find it.

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

Was it “adaptive management”?

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

Yes.

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

Is that NDP-40.1?

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

It was your definition of “adaptive management”, and you were going to stick it in at the beginning of that section. Do we have the page number?

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

Page 38, line 22.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

Thank you.

Yes, “adaptive management”, because we added a change.

There was a request to basically go away and understand whether that definition was acceptable. I believe I had unanimous consent if it passes to insert it into this section of the bill.

There was unanimous consent to reserve the chance to do that, and now we have to decide. It's not to do it. It's to vote on whether we're going to do it. It was to give us that opportunity to go back. We reserved the right to go back, which we're doing now, to add the definition. The definition is as brought forward in amendment NDP-40.1.

Is that right, Linda?

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

That's correct.

My understanding, and the opinion I'm given, is that the way the rules were changed for committees, and then going back to the House, if you had an opportunity to bring forward the amendment at committee and chose not to, you could not bring it at report stage.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

We're doing it now.

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

That's what I'm saying.

This looks like the only chance.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

We're all good. We're on the page. Everybody has the definition in front of them.

Amendment NDP-40.1 would add that definition on page 38, line 22.

Shall the amendment carry?

[Scott Reid, Conservative, Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, ON]

I would like a recorded vote.

(Amendment negatived: nays 7; yeas 1 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

We are now at the end of clause 1.

Shall clause 1 as amended carry?

[Scott Reid, Conservative, Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, ON]

I would like a recorded vote.

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

On division.
