Mr. Chair, you recognized Mr. Leslie, but my name was on the list. I'm pretty sure that—

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia
You had put your name forward to talk about the motion, but now we're speaking to the amendment.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia
Your name is on the list of people who want to speak to the motion. As far as the amendment is concerned, your name is not on the list. Do you want me to add it?

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
With all of that said, as I mentioned, we need to buffer against the high likelihood that this doesn't happen, that the gridlock is not relieved unless the government decides to release those documents. Knowing that possibility, I'd like to further buffer this committee against the intentional delay of so many aspects of the work that we have undertaken.
I would propose a further subamendment with the intentional support of the proposed amendment from my colleague from the NDP.
It would involve several pieces, and perhaps, if it would be easier for my colleagues—

Why don't we take a quick break, and I can send it around?

Mr. Chair, can I get on the speakers list for the subamendment, please?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia
Even though we don't know what the subamendment is.... Okay.
We'll take a pause and look at the subamendment.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia
We're back in business. We have six minutes.
Where were we?
Mr. Leslie has a subamendment. Do we have it in writing? Has it been distributed to people by email?
Conservative
Branden Leslie Conservative Portage—Lisgar, MB
Yes.
I apologize, Mr. Chair. It's slightly more complex. In order to not over-complicate this process, I ask that I not move it as a subamendment. Perhaps, if there's agreement among members, we could move to a vote on the NDP amendment.
However, I would like to retain my spot on the speaking list once that vote is complete, in order to move a different amendment. That's so that it's not overly complex for members to consider all of them together at the same time.

Yes, there is.
If you don't call for a vote on the amendment, I have Mr. Lloyd, Madame Pauzé and Madame Chatel.
