Dan Albas Conservative Central Okanagan—Similkameen—Nicola, BC

I promise I won't.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

I am really sorry, Ms. Pauzé, but we have to move to the vote.

Monique Pauzé Bloc Repentigny, QC

It's all about procedure, Mr. Chair.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

In that case, are we talking about something else?

Monique Pauzé Bloc Repentigny, QC

So I have the right to comment. That's fine.

Let's call the vote on clause 13, but some amendments deal with creating a clause 13.1.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

We have some other amendments, if I'm not mistaken. We will deal with the additions to clause 13 later.

The question was also raised on Monday, I believe.

Monique Pauzé Bloc Repentigny, QC

Okay. I apologize.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

Is that correct, Ms. Thivierge?

Émilie Thivierge

Yes. Exactly.

Monique Pauzé Bloc Repentigny, QC

I am sorry.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

We are now voting on clause 13.

The amendment is negatived.

It's Ms. May's turn now.

Émilie Thivierge

Mr. Chair?

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

Did I make a mistake, Ms. Thivierge?

Émilie Thivierge

Yes. The clause was agreed to.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

Did I not say that the clause was agreed to?

Émilie Thivierge

You said that the clause had been negatived.

I just wanted to make that clear.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

My apologies.

Taylor Bachrach NDP Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC

I have a point of order, Mr. Chair.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

Yes, Mr. Bachrach.

Taylor Bachrach NDP Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC

When you were calling the result, you said “the amendment”, and I believe it was clause 13.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

It was the clause, yes.

Taylor Bachrach NDP Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC

Was it clause 13 we were voting on? I just want to clarify.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

Is there unanimous consent to overlook my errors and to consider clause 13 carried?

5:35 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Albas Conservative Central Okanagan—Similkameen—Nicola, BC

Yes.

(Clause 13 agreed to)

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

Now we go to Ms. May, who wants to present amendment PV-21.
