Chair, we have no issue if you want to make the call for the CPC ones and just say “withdrawn”.

The Chair Liberal Karina Gould

Is this for the entire bill?

Conservative

Jasraj Singh Hallan Conservative Calgary East, AB

There's only one more. Then if you want to pass the rest of them as a block, we're okay with that for whatever ones we have.

Ryan Turnbull Liberal Whitby, ON

You still have a few left.

We'll just block them together.

The Chair Liberal Karina Gould

We're going to go one by one, just so we make sure we get everything. In the future, if you're going to withdraw amendments, maybe don't put them on in the first place. I'm just kidding.

Amendment BQ-10 is deemed moved, ruled inadmissible by the chair, the ruling challenged and overturned, and the amendment passed on division.

(Amendment agreed to on division [See Minutes of Proceedings])

(Clause 13 as amended agreed to)

(On clause 14)

Mr. Hallan, did you want to introduce CPC-10?

12:05 p.m.

Conservative

Jasraj Singh Hallan Conservative Calgary East, AB

No, we'll withdraw it.

Chair, I don't know if there's unanimous consent for this. If you wanted to make 14 to 39 one block, we could pass it all together, as long as everyone is okay with that.

The Chair Liberal Karina Gould

Thank you, Mr. Hallan, for the suggestion.

Is there unanimous consent from the committee to group clauses 14 to 39?

Some hon. members

Agreed.

The Chair Liberal Karina Gould

Mr. Turnbull.

Ryan Turnbull Liberal Whitby, ON

I think we have to deal with clause 14 separately because there was a proposed amendment. Then we can do clause 15.

The Chair Liberal Karina Gould

That was withdrawn. He just withdrew that, but thank you for paying attention.

Since we are grouping them, shall clauses 14 to 39 carry?

Jean-Denis Garon Bloc Mirabel, QC

I would call for a recorded vote, please.

The Chair Liberal Karina Gould

Okay. We can go to a vote.

(Clauses 14 to 39 agreed to: yeas 8; nays 1)
