Can I suggest...?

Glenn Thibeault NDP Sudbury, ON

Can I make a point of order?

The Vice-Chair NDP Peggy Nash

Mr. Thibeault.

Glenn Thibeault NDP Sudbury, ON

Thank you, Madam Chair.

I am wondering if we could maybe group five of the amendments, and then immediately after that take a five-minute health break.

I just want to seek the consent of the committee to group perhaps 178-301, -302, -303, -304, and -305, and then take five minutes for a quick health break, if the committee would agree.

The Vice-Chair NDP Peggy Nash

Is there consent?

Mr. Lamoureux.

Kevin Lamoureux Liberal Winnipeg North, MB

I know, Madam Chair, last night, when the chair felt it was necessary to take...I think he called them “health breaks”, which I've never heard of before.

I'm okay with us taking a health break, but I think it's important that we have votes on each one separately, because they do have a different impact on the budget.

My preference would be that we continue to vote, but if there is a need for a health break, I am all in favour of us having a health break.

The Vice-Chair NDP Peggy Nash

Okay.

So there is no consent, Mr. Thibeault, to....

We'll take a break. I was actually going to suggest that we take a break now.

So why don't we take just a few minutes so that people can stretch. We'll come back together shortly.

The Vice-Chair NDP Peggy Nash

Committee, we'll resume this 94th meeting of the finance committee and our clause-by-clause review of Bill C-45.

We are at amendment LIB-178-301.

Mr. Lamoureux, did you want to speak to this?

Kevin Lamoureux Liberal Winnipeg North, MB

Madam Chair, it was great to have the break, but I would request that we have a recorded vote, please.

(Amendment negatived [See Minutes of Proceedings])

The Vice-Chair NDP Peggy Nash

Amendment LIB-178-302.

Mr. Lamoureux.
