NDP

Daniel Blaikie NDP Elmwood—Transcona, MB

Mr. Chair, on a point of order, there are about eight or nine NDP amendments to this same clause. Having defeated several of them now, I think if any of them were to pass, we might risk creating some bad law. I do think that even though they might not be, strictly speaking, consequential, they are meant to work together.

I would ask for unanimous consent of the committee to withdraw the balance of the amendments for this particular clause so that we don't accidentally create an incoherent or otherwise bad law.

MP Blaikie, could you speak to what you were asking for?

My request has caused more confusion and consternation than I anticipated and did not serve the intent and purpose of saving time. I'll withdraw my request for unanimous consent. We can proceed with the voting.

Thank you.

Mr. Chair, on a point of order, I just wondered, on Daniel's UC request, if we have consent to remove those, so that we don't get bad law, I think it made eminent sense.
