Thank you very much, Mr. Berthold.
Despite the conventional wisdom about friendly amendments, I am advised by the clerk that there really is no such thing. However, it is absolutely in order for the committee to do exactly what you have suggested, which is, by consensus, to agree with the suggestion of Dr. Hanley that the words “and territories” be inserted after the word “provinces” in your motion.
Do we have general consensus on that? If not, we can proceed more formally. We have a consensus.
I see no further speakers on the speakers list. Therefore, we are ready for the motion as amended.
Do we have consensus to pass the motion as is, or do we require the formality of a standing vote?
(Motion as amended agreed to)
Is there any further business to come before the meeting?
Go ahead, Mr. Berthold.
