The clerks have advised me that, as is usual practice in the chamber, it does require unanimous consent. In O'Brien and Bosc, there is nothing in the chapter on committees that differentiates that, as far as our clerks know. That is a practice we have to follow here.

I would need unanimous consent as the chair to use that practice. Do I have unanimous consent to use the practice?

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

Colleagues, you have amendments Liberal-165-1 to Liberal-165-364. This deals with when the act comes into force, so obviously what these amendments are doing is proposing every other day in the calendar.

Now, I don't have authority to say these are inadmissible, but I would try to use every force of reason to convince my colleague from the Liberal Party to perhaps pick one day or to say that the vote for one applies to all, because there is the same intent. If the member insists, we will have a vote on each one, but that's what I'm asking.
