Bob Nault at the Foreign Affairs and International Development Committee

You're right, it causes significant concern. Because the member is not here, the amendment, then, is withdrawn.

Is there any further discussion on clause 5?

(Clause 5 agreed to)

(Clauses 6 and 7 agreed to)

(On clause 8)

We are now on clause 8. I want to bring to your attention that there are two subamendments to the amendment on clause 8. We will hear, on clause 8, from Ms. Vandenbeld, who is presenting the amendment, but then we will go to subamendment NDP-SUB1. We will vote on that one and then will vote on the second NDP subamendment before we vote on the Liberal amendment.

Is that understood? Okay.

Madam Vandenbeld, please.
