I will read it into the record one more time.
Mr. Leef has moved that because the evidence demonstrates that the Canadian seal hunt is conducted humanely and sustainably, the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans reaffirms its support for the Canadian seal industry.
The amendment brought forward by Mr. MacAulay states: and that, given the current state of the Canadian sealing industry and the inability of the government to open new international markets for the industry, the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans call on the government to significantly increase its efforts to protect and promote the sealing industry on the international stage, before the industry is permanently lost.
That's the amendment and the motion.
Is there anything further on the amendment?
(Amendment negatived)
The amendment has been defeated.
We will now return to the original motion as stated by Mr. Leef. Is there discussion on the motion?
Mr. Kamp.
