Let's be clear and then we can move on. My amendment says:
That Bill S-5, in Clause 36, be amended by deleting lines 22 to 29 on page 21.
Here's the Liberal amendment:
That Bill S-5, in Clause 36, be amended
(a) by deleting lines 22 to 29 on page 21;
It does exactly the same thing, except that it adds—and Liberals have referred to this before:
(b) renumbering the remaining provision and amending all references to it accordingly.
We all know that's unnecessary. Whenever you amend the bill, obviously everything else gets renumbered. There is zero difference between the NDP and the Liberal amendments, and the Liberals know it. The only reason they're voting against the NDP motion right now is that they don't want to support an NDP motion to improve a bill that the Liberals proposed, which went through the Senate and which allows lifestyle advertising for vaping products in bars, which we know is an undesirable provision in the bill. The Liberals want to look like they're the ones who are removing it, not the NDP. Let's be clear about this. It's going to happen one way or the other, because the NDP has the majority on this committee, but let's be clear: the only reason the Liberals are voting against the NDP motion here is that ours was in first and ours does exactly what they want to do, first. Let's not insult anybody's intelligence by trying to suggest that the Liberal amendment is better than the NDP's. It's identical to the NDP amendment.
