Environment Committee on Dec. 12th, 2017

[Mark Gerretsen, Liberal, Kingston and the Islands, ON]

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

[Ed Fast, Conservative, Abbotsford, BC]

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

[Mark Gerretsen, Liberal, Kingston and the Islands, ON]

Okay.

[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?

[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.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

Do we have consent to reconsider?

[Some hon. members]

No.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

There's no consent, sorry.

We are now on clause 10.

(Clause 10 agreed to)

(On clause 11)

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

Wait just a second.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

Sorry.

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

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

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

Clause 10 carried.

[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.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

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

[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.

[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.”

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

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

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

We haven't gotten to the schedule yet.

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

That's the provision that adopts the schedule.

[Mike Bossio, Liberal, Hastings—Lennox and Addington, ON]

The actual schedule is at the end.

[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—

[Mike Bossio, Liberal, Hastings—Lennox and Addington, ON]

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

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

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

[Linda Duncan, NDP, Edmonton Strathcona, AB]

It seems good to me.

(Clauses 11 to 13 inclusive agreed to)

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

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