Liberal

Mark Gerretsen Liberal Kingston and the Islands, ON

No, I was just trying to understand....

9:15 a.m.

Conservative

Ed Fast Conservative Abbotsford, BC

There was unanimous consent, I believe, to go back and hear her.

9:15 a.m.

Liberal

Mark Gerretsen Liberal Kingston and the Islands, ON

Okay.

9:15 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

But it was not unanimous to accept the amendment.

Is there any discussion around the table that you'd like to have?

9:15 a.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

I'd just add that it was my mistake that when I tabled all of NDP-2, I did not explain each one of those provisions in our discussion. I'm simply asking unanimous consent to reconsider that. I have given the argument for including environmental justice.

First of all, we have to agree that we're willing to reconsider it.

9:15 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Do we have consent to reconsider?

9:15 a.m.

Some hon. members

No.

9:15 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

There's no consent, sorry.

We are now on clause 10.

(Clause 10 agreed to)

(On clause 11)

9:15 a.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

Wait just a second.

9:15 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Sorry.

9:15 a.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

I don't think you want to pass that yet.

9:15 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Clause 10 carried.

9:15 a.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

The Liberals actually want to change the schedule and you've just voted to accept it as it is.

9:15 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Wait a minute. We're not there yet. We're only on clause 10.

9:15 a.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

Yes. It says, “The schedule to the Act is replaced by the schedule set out in the schedule to this Act.”

You've just voted to accept 1, 2, and 3. I think that's the place where the Liberals want to bring their amendment.

9:15 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

I'm sorry. I was on the wrong page. That's my fault.

“The schedule to the Act is replaced by the schedule set out in the schedule to this Act.”

9:15 a.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

It's just three points and it doesn't include the National Capital Commission.

9:15 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

We haven't gotten to the schedule yet.

9:15 a.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

That's the provision that adopts the schedule.

9:15 a.m.

Liberal

Mike Bossio Liberal Hastings—Lennox and Addington, ON

The actual schedule is at the end.

9:15 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

It's just saying that it's replacing it. There's really nothing contentious here that I can see. We've already passed—

9:15 a.m.

Liberal

Mike Bossio Liberal Hastings—Lennox and Addington, ON

We have to vote on the schedule that's actually going to replace it.

9:15 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

We voted on it and it was passed. Can we move on to clause 11?

9:15 a.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

It seems good to me.

(Clauses 11 to 13 inclusive agreed to)

9:15 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

We have an amendment, LIB-4. Would you like to bring that forward?
