Fisheries Committee on Feb. 8th, 2024

[Rick Perkins, Conservative, South Shore—St. Margarets, NS]

I can't.

[Ken Hardie, Liberal, Fleetwood—Port Kells, BC]

Well, you have buddies over there. I think they're your friends, are they not?

[The Vice-Chair, Conservative, Mel Arnold]

Ms. Barron.

[Lisa Marie Barron, NDP, Nanaimo—Ladysmith, BC]

The easiest—

[Pat Kelly, Conservative, Calgary Rocky Ridge, AB]

In the interest of advancing this—

[The Vice-Chair, Conservative, Mel Arnold]

I had Ms. Barron with her hand up, and then you can speak, if you'd like, Mr. Kelly.

[Lisa Marie Barron, NDP, Nanaimo—Ladysmith, BC]

I apologize to my friend Mr. Kelly. I don't believe he has spoken yet at this meeting.

I'm just going to suggest that we add two meetings to the end of this motion. I don't know if you need me to read it out or if I can just say “two”.

[The Vice-Chair, Conservative, Mel Arnold]

If we could basically use most of the wording from the previous amendment and change “one meeting” to “two meetings”....

The clerk has it, so she can read it out as it would be.

[Miriam Burke, Committee Clerk]

It would just add to the end of the motion “for two meetings”.

[Rick Perkins, Conservative, South Shore—St. Margarets, NS]

Did somebody put that forward?

[Miriam Burke]

Ms. Barron did.

[The Vice-Chair, Conservative, Mel Arnold]

Mr. Kelly, you had your hand up.

[Pat Kelly, Conservative, Calgary Rocky Ridge, AB]

I was going to propose a similar amendment, but I'm not going to speak to it.

[The Vice-Chair, Conservative, Mel Arnold]

Okay. Are there any questions on the amendment? No.

(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

(Motion as amended agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
