Serge Cormier Liberal Acadie—Bathurst, NB

On a point of order, I don't think you called a vote. I said we are going to deal the motion first—

5:30 p.m.

Conservative

Rick Perkins Conservative South Shore—St. Margarets, NS

Are you challenging the chair? He already called the vote.

5:30 p.m.

Conservative

Damien Kurek Conservative Battle River—Crowfoot, AB

On a point of order, Chair, these points of order are not relevant to the fact that a vote has been called on the amendment.

5:30 p.m.

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald

I actually said we were voting on the amendment made by Mr. Kelloway first.

(Amendment negatived: nays 6; yeas 5)

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald

Mrs. Desbiens, you have the floor.

Bloc

Caroline Desbiens Bloc Beauport—Côte-de-Beaupré—Île dOrléans—Charlevoix, QC

I'd also like to move an amendment to the motion moved by our Conservative colleagues.

Among the witnesses to be invited, I would like us to add the representatives of Quebec's lobster and crab fishing associations.

5:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald

Okay. We have another amendment by Madame Desbiens to amend the motion by adding the Quebec lobster fishers.

Mr. Hardie.

No. It's Mr. Kelloway.

5:30 p.m.

Liberal

Mike Kelloway Liberal Cape Breton—Canso, NS

Mr. Hardie is a good-looking man, so that was a great thing.

I was going to propose an amendment.

5:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald

I don't know who got insulted that time or who got the confidence to go, but—

5:30 p.m.

Liberal

Mike Kelloway Liberal Cape Breton—Canso, NS

Trust me— I'm not going to say.

I think where MP Desbiens put forward an amendment, I have an amendment as well, so I guess we'll go through hers first and then mine?

5:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald

Yes.

We've all heard the amendment by Madame Desbiens.

I'll ask the clerk to call the vote.

(Amendment agreed to: yeas 11 nays 0 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Mr. Morrissey, go ahead.

5:30 p.m.

Liberal

Bobby Morrissey Liberal Egmont, PE

I believe our time may be out, and I would move that we adjourn.

5:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald

We're at 5:35 right now, so we'll have to leave the vote on the motion as amended to the next meeting.

With everybody's permission, the meeting is adjourned.
