The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Hang on.

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

That's what I asked earlier, and I was told it was still there. That's why I put it in, so our vote was completely askew.

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Maybe I'm missing something.

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

That's why it was put back in.

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Okay, I'm sorry. I'm wrong. The bill replaces section 12, and I'm on the wrong thing.

Mike Bossio Liberal Hastings—Lennox and Addington, ON

Can we move to the vote?

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Yes, we certainly can, if you guys are all ready and I am the only one confused. Yes, the bill replaced it.

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

I was told it didn't when we voted on mine, which did exactly the same thing elsewhere.

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

All right.

Ms. May's amendment is to put it in, because right now the bill does not have it. It was in before, and now it's not, just to be clear. Now I'm clear. Thank you.

All in favour of Ms. May's amendment PV-1? All those against?

(Amendment negatived on division)

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

I think it's in the wrong place, but she's going in the right direction. Now it's no longer being applied.

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

All those in favour of clause 8 as amended?

Conservative

Ed Fast Conservative Abbotsford, BC

Our time is up.

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Our time is up. I think we can do the rest in about five to 10 minutes.

Mark Gerretsen Liberal Kingston and the Islands, ON

You did call the vote, so can we just vote on it?

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Shall we finish section 8?

A voice

Overtime requires unanimous consent.

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

Are you saying clause 8?

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

My clock is saying it's not exactly time yet.

10:45 a.m.

Conservative

Ed Fast Conservative Abbotsford, BC

Is it your clock, or is it the parliamentary clock?

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Those are never always right.

10:45 a.m.

Conservative

Ed Fast Conservative Abbotsford, BC

Okay, then how do we determine what time it is?

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

Let's just decide if we want to continue.

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

We're in the middle of the vote. Can we finish the vote, please?

10:45 a.m.

Conservative

Ed Fast Conservative Abbotsford, BC

We can finish this vote.

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Shall clause 8 carry as amended?
