Foreign Affairs Committee on June 16th, 2016

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

On a point of order, I haven't had a chance to speak at all to the main motion. You allowed me to speak to the amendment but that's a separate issue from the main motion, so I would argue, Mr. Chair, that it's important for us to have some substantive conversation about the main motion, as well, which is distinct from the amendment. The main motion deals with the issue itself in a broader way rather than simply the distinction between the language we were looking for and the language that the government was looking for.

[The Chair, Liberal, Bob Nault]

No, I would disagree with that, because the amendment was specific at the beginning, and the rest of the motion was exactly the same. It's clear what we're voting on.

I'll move to the motion.

Hélène, did you vote for or against the motion?

[Hélène Laverdière, NDP, Laurier—Sainte-Marie, QC]

For.

(Motion agreed to)

[The Chair, Liberal, Bob Nault]

All right, the motion passes, and I'll report it to the House.

Colleagues, I don't think we're going to see each other until the fall, so have a very good summer. I'm sure hoping I don't see you on Tuesday, as much as I like you all. Good luck, have a good summer, and we'll get back to work in the fall.

The meeting is adjourned.
