It can? Okay. At this point, I'm not willing to open up that debate.

We don't have unanimous consent.

Can we still go ahead and vote on clause 10 as amended?

Mr. Chair, could I propose a brief pause?

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

Yes.

4:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

We decided to not bring these back right now.

We'll go to clause 19 with NDP-18.

4:30 p.m.

NDP

Laurel Collins NDP Victoria, BC

I'm happy to go into clause 19, and if someone wants to table the motion again, I've also gotten reassurance....

4:30 p.m.

Liberal

Terry Duguid Liberal Winnipeg South, MB

I would seek unanimous consent to bring clauses 10.1 and 11.1 back, Mr. Chair.

4:30 p.m.

Some hon. members

Agreed.

4:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

I believe we have unanimous consent. I haven't heard anything to the contrary, so they've been brought back. We can now debate them one by one.

No, you have to carry clause 10 again.

4:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

It's done.

4:30 p.m.

We carried it. Let's not carry it twice, or we'll be back to the same thing.

4:30 p.m.

NDP

Laurel Collins NDP Victoria, BC

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

We have debated this before, so I won't go on too much.

Just so folks know, this is to expand priority planning in proposed section 73 to include timelines and a requirement to update the plan every five years.

However, I think we were potentially on a subamendment.

4:30 p.m.

Liberal

Terry Duguid Liberal Winnipeg South, MB

Mr. Chair, I could support this motion, in part, if subamended to replace “within five years” with “within eight years”.

I would move that subamendment.

4:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

The subamendment is changing “five” to “eight”.

Is there any debate on that?

Ms. Collins.

4:30 p.m.

NDP

Laurel Collins NDP Victoria, BC

While I prefer five, I will accept eight if it will pass the motion.

4:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

Let's vote on the subamendment.

(Subamendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Now we go to the amendment, NDP-18.

Do we go straight to a vote? Is everyone in agreement with amended amendment NDP-18?

4:35 p.m.

Conservative

Greg McLean Conservative Calgary Centre, AB

Did we already amend it to “eight” in this one as well? It says “five”.

4:35 p.m.

Liberal

Patrick Weiler Liberal West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country, BC

We just amended it.

4:35 p.m.

Conservative
