You mean the one that originally came in, with the six-minute allocations.

—which has been moved.
What Mr. Strahl has done is amend it to what he just described earlier.
Would you like me to read it out again?

The Chair Liberal Scott Simms
Okay.
Well, he's put forward an amendment to it, so the next item is to vote on Mr. Strahl's amended table.
Before I do that, would anybody else like to weigh in on this?
Mr. Finnigan.

If it was voted down, then we'd have to vote again on the original motion.
Is that how it works, or does it automatically...? No, we'd have to vote again.
4:20 p.m.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Scott Simms
Right.
If accepted, it's automatically amended. Then we vote for the main motion, which would be the amended one.
Is there any more discussion?
I'm sorry, Mr. Arnold, my apologies.

I think the confusion is that the original motion has been moved. It hasn't been passed yet. It's only moved, so it's still up for a vote.
Thank you.

These are tools in the toolbox, as the expression goes. We could suspend for a bit if you wish to discuss it and then return in a few minutes.

No.

Okay, so we're ready.
Therefore, I call for a vote of the amended motion.

The Chair Liberal Scott Simms
Oh, the amendment. I'm sorry.
See, now you've got me confused. It's the amendment, yes.

Liberal
The Chair Liberal Scott Simms
Thank you very much.
Now we have to move on to vote on the amended motion.
(Motion as amended agreed to)
Thank you. Sorry if I was confused there.
There is one left. It is that the clerk of the committee be instructed to request from the minister's office the curriculum vitae of an appointee or nominee, once the committee has been notified of their nomination, and distribute it to the members of the committee.
Is there any discussion?

The Chair Liberal Scott Simms
I'm seeking clarification on that myself.
Okay, some positions get referred to committee for the vetting of particular candidates, so that's what we're doing. We're clearing the way for that.

Liberal
The Chair Liberal Scott Simms
Any position. It could be a board position. It could be anyone appointed by the minister or order in council.

The Chair Liberal Scott Simms
All right. Is there any more discussion on that?
I'm looking for someone to move the motion.

I have two short motions for consideration as routine motions by the committee.
I'll just read it and I'll go slowly. It is that all requests to appear before the committee be distributed to committee members.
