There's a challenge.
(Ruling of the chair sustained: yeas 6; nays 5)
Now, members, we are at clause 211. I'll test the waters again. There are no amendments between clauses 211 and 228, so would members like to provide unanimous consent to group those?

Perhaps on a point of order, I'll test the water again, Mr. Chair, to see if there's unanimous consent to read—

I have a point of order, Mr. Chair.
We are quickly approaching when the meeting was scheduled until, which was 11:59.

The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca
That's not a point of order. It is not.
We have resources. We're going to continue.

No, no. I think I'm allowed a point of order. This is my privilege. Thank you, sir.

And please don't talk over.... It hurts the interpreters.
I believe the whips had negotiated to 11:59 p.m. Those are the resources. Our House of Commons staff do a fabulous job. I don't believe pushing them beyond this point would be helpful for their health and for their health and safety.
Mr. Chair, you made that a clear priority of yours in previous discussions, but if your agenda is more important than health and safety, I guess that's what it is.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca
No, MP Lawrence, I want the health and safety of everybody in this room—and with you, too, I see you're having a little difficulty right now.
What we're going to do is to suspend until tomorrow morning.
[The meeting was suspended at 00:02 a.m., Tuesday, May 30]

The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca
We are back, everyone. I call this meeting to order.
We're resuming meeting number 94.
Pursuant to the order of reference of Tuesday, May 2, 2023, and the motion adopted on May 16, 2023, the committee is meeting to discuss Bill C-47, an act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 28, 2023.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of June 23, 2022. Members are attending in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application.
As per the annotated agenda, members, we're resuming with clause-by-clause consideration.
Let's get to it.
Shall clause 223 carry?

Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
I'd like a recorded division.
Thank you.

I have a point of order, Mr. Chair. We were all up relatively late last night, and it's early morning. I'm wondering if we could have a recap of the first 222 sections, whether they passed or—

Next, we have division 4, “Preferential Tariff Programs for Developing Countries".
Members, from clauses 229 to 234 there are no amendments. I'm just looking to see if we have unanimous consent.
Conservative
Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
No, but I would test to see if we can read the sections into the record.
