The Chair Conservative John Brassard

Thank you, Mr. Green.

We have literally less than a minute here. We have an amendment on the floor. Is there any discussion on the amendment?

Conservative

Michael Barrett Conservative Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, ON

The amendment, Chair, is for direction. It was in addition to, but it didn't remove anything else—

Matthew Green NDP Hamilton Centre, ON

It would remove the former interim commissioner to ascertain who was involved.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative John Brassard

To be clear for the clerk as well, this is an amendment to the motion that would add to the motion but would not replace the motion. Is that correct?

5:45 p.m.

NDP

Matthew Green NDP Hamilton Centre, ON

It would not replace it, but it would.... I'm saying that we would do this. We would strike the appearance of the former interim commissioner, and the letter would be sent to ascertain who the appropriate person is to come before the committee.

5:45 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative John Brassard

That clears it up.

Go ahead, Mr. Barrett, quickly, please.

Michael Barrett Conservative Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, ON

And the lobbying commissioner would still attend.

5:45 p.m.

NDP

Matthew Green NDP Hamilton Centre, ON

Absolutely.

5:45 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative John Brassard

I think that's clear. On the amendment, I don't see any further discussion. Do we have consensus on Mr. Green's amendment?

(Amendment agreed to)

Does the main motion as amended carry?

(Motion as amended agreed to on division [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Thank you, everyone.

Thank you, analysts.

Thank you, Clerk and technicians. I appreciate all your help.

We'll see everybody on Friday.
