I'm subbing for someone else and I don't have them immediately in front of me. Is it not possible for the clerk to just send around a table-dropped amendment so we can see what we're voting on?

11:40 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

He did send them around. They were around.

Were you working off the other member's package or your own personal one?

11:40 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

I have a book that was the pre-existing material, and then I have a stack here. What was the number? Let me see if I can find it.

11:40 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

It's right there. You have it.

11:40 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

Okay, this is it. So these were table-dropped and we have no record of the opinions of the officials on these whatsoever.

11:40 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Yes, we do. The officials were fine with all of them. They were asked was there any conflict, issues, or concerns, and the answers were no.

11:40 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

What we were told by the officials before they left, I think, is that they hadn't even seen many of the table-dropped amendments.

11:40 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

No, we asked them to review them before they left, which they did, and they gave me the answer, all three of them, that they were all fine, and that there were no conflicts.

11:40 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

Was that on the record?

11:40 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Yes. I gave that information when we started up the session again at nine o'clock.

We're on LIB-119.1.

11:40 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

I would like to move a unanimous consent motion. I'd like to seek the consent of the committee—

11:40 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

You don't have consent, so we'll move on.

11:40 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

—that Mr. Aldag be given 60 seconds to defend his motion.

11:40 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

We're moving on to LIB-119.1, and the ruling will be that the vote will apply to LIB-119.2.

You did not get unanimous consent, so we're moving on. Thank you.

11:40 p.m.

An hon. member

It would be nice to know why—

11:40 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

We are now on NDP-92.

(Amendment negatived: nays 8; yeas 1 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

We're now moving on to NDP-93. If adopted, PV-134 and NDP-94 cannot be moved, as there will be a line conflict.

11:40 p.m.

Conservative

Rachael Thomas Conservative Lethbridge, AB

I have a point of order.

11:40 p.m.

Liberal

William Amos Liberal Pontiac, QC

No.

11:40 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

What's your point of order?

11:40 p.m.

Conservative

Rachael Thomas Conservative Lethbridge, AB

First off, my point of order is that the members opposite have no right to say “no” to me when my point of order has to with the chair, and this is your—

11:40 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Okay, Rachael, I am listening to you.

11:40 p.m.

Conservative

Rachael Thomas Conservative Lethbridge, AB

Madam Chair, this is your meeting, and it's yours to conduct appropriately.

11:45 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

And I'm listening.

11:45 p.m.

Conservative

Rachael Thomas Conservative Lethbridge, AB

Thank you. I appreciate that.

Before me, it goes from NDP-92 to LIB-119.2. We're skipping over that and going to NDP-93. I'd like to know why that is.

11:45 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

When we were on LIB-119.1, I mentioned that the vote would apply to LIB-119.2 because that's the consequential amendment; they go together. I mentioned that when we were voting. That's why that one has been done already.
