Okay. The version I have in front of me continues:
at least 48 hours prior to the start of clause-by-clause consideration of the Bill to which the amendments relate shall be deemed to be proposed during the said consideration, provided that the committee may, by motion, vary this deadline in respect of a given Bill; and (c) during the clause-by-clause consideration of a Bill, the chair shall allow a member who filed suggested amendments, pursuant to paragraph (a), an opportunity to make brief representations in support of them.
Is that what everyone else on the committee has?
Madam Shanahan?

My document as well has been cut off, but I'd like to hear from the clerk, just to confirm that this is the motion as read, as well as the previous one.
12:10 p.m.
The Clerk
The motion that the chair just read was the motion that was adopted at the first meeting of the last session, with the end part that he read continuing from Mr. Fergus' motion.

Not that I know of, no.

The Chair Conservative David Sweet
Well, I think that's an overstatement, but colleagues, do we need to suspend again and make sure that everybody has a consistent copy?
Yes, I see you, Mr. Dong, so even if there's one person.... We'll suspend briefly. Don't worry. I'll remember to unsuspend the next time. We're going to suspend briefly, and we'll make sure that the clerk gets into your P9 account the specific motion we all have in front of us so that we're all agreed on it.
Madam Clerk, as Mr. Sorbara said, now you're the navigator.

Are we finished with the amendments, then, the routine proceedings? Are we done with this?
12:15 p.m.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative David Sweet
We're still on the order of reference from the House respecting bills because it was cut off on Mr. Fergus's copy, so we've just sent the copy to everybody's P9.

Chair, I was just raising my hand to ask if you could suspend the meeting. Now I've just lowered my hand.

Okay. Thank you.
Mr. Angus, I suspect that was what you wanted to clarify. You're on the speaking list here.
