Shouldn't we vote separately on the motion and the amendment?
The Clerk
This would be the motion as amended, including the amendment, because the wording is inside.
Would you prefer that I read out just the words to be added? Or would you prefer to have the motion in its entirety?

I think we should vote on the amendment, where we're opposed, and then vote on the motion as amended. First, vote on the amendment.
The Clerk
Okay. For clarity, the amendment would be to add the words “in camera” after the word “meet” and also add the words “at 10 a.m. for one hour” after the date, “January 18, 2019,” and also to add the words “and consular officials from Global Affairs” after “Canadian Ambassador to China”.
(Amendment agreed to: yeas 5; nays 4 [See Minutes of Proceedings])
Mr. Michael Levitt (York Centre, Lib.)
We shall now move to the amended motion in its entirety.
The Clerk
The motion, as amended, would read:
That the Committee meet in camera on Friday, January 18, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. for one hour to receive a briefing for the Canadian Ambassador to China and Consular Officials from Global Affairs on the state of affairs and his efforts with respect to Canadians detained in China on security or administrative grounds.
(Motion as amended agreed to: yeas 9; nays 0)
Mr. Michael Levitt (York Centre, Lib.)
With that, we shall adjourn and reconvene tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. Thank you.
The meeting is adjourned.
