You would be correct about that. There have been discussions—

Liberal
David Graham Liberal Laurentides—Labelle, QC
Oh, no, for accuracy, you did quite well, I think, in the last one too.
There have been some discussions among the three parties, and there is a subamendment I'd like to propose to this amendment, if I may read it into the record.
It is that amendment CPC-102, proposing to amend clause 223 of Bill C-76 by replacing lines 24 and 25 on page 115—
4 p.m.
Liberal
David Graham Liberal Laurentides—Labelle, QC
Oh, there's a typo. Thank you for catching my mistake.
It is that the amendment be amended by substituting the following for the substituted text appearing after the word “following”: “352 A third party shall include in a manner that is clearly visible or otherwise accessible in any election advertising message placed by it its name, its telephone number, either its civic or Internet address and an indication in or on”.
4 p.m.

The Chair Liberal Larry Bagnell
Seeing that we've had discussions and co-operation, we may be ready for the vote.
(Subamendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
(Amendment as amended agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
Amendment CPC-102 as amended has passed; therefore, amendment LIB-31 cannot be moved. Amendment NDP-20 is defeated, because it was consequential to NDP-17.
I'm sorry, Mr. Boulerice. I feel for you.
(Clause 225 as amended agreed to)
(On clause 226)
There was amendment CPC-103, but that was defeated because of amendment CPC-98.
4 p.m.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Larry Bagnell
Yes, it is dead, in those terms.
Now we have amendment CPC-104.
Would the Conservatives present this amendment.
4 p.m.
Calgary Midnapore, CPC
This is in a similar vein to an amendment that we presented yesterday. Basically, if these third parties will be required to register, then with this amendment we are just allowing them early registration for the election period.
4 p.m.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Larry Bagnell
If there is no further discussion, we will vote on the amendment.
(Amendment negatived [See Minutes of Proceedings])
(Clause 226 agreed to on division)
(Clause 227 agreed to)
Regarding clause 228, there was amendment CPC-105, but it is lost because it was consequential to amendment CPC-98.
(Clause 228 agreed to on division)
(Clause 229 agreed to on division)

Liberal
The Chair Liberal Larry Bagnell
Clause 230 had amendment CPC-106, but that was consequential to CPC-98 as well. That amendment is therefore defeated. There are no amendments to clause 230 now.
(Clause 230 agreed to on division)
(On clause 231)
On clause 231, there is LIB-32. This has some ramifications. The vote on LIB-32 applies to LIB-35 on page 215, LIB-48 on page 281, LIB-51 on page 287, as they are linked by reference.
Would a Liberal member present LIB-32, please.
4 p.m.
Liberal
David Graham Liberal Laurentides—Labelle, QC
The proposed amendment would create an obligation to submit additional interim reports during the election period. This is for the third party's report on the seventh day and 21st day prior to polling day, if they incur expenses over, I believe, $500.
We've discussed some of it before.
(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
4:05 p.m.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Larry Bagnell
It's unanimous. For the record, that also means that LIB-35, LIB-48 and LIB-51 are all passed, linked by reference.
There was amendment CPC-107 on this clause, but it was defeated because it was consequential to CPC-98.
(Clause 231 as amended agreed to on division)
(On clause 232)

Yes.

The Chair Liberal Larry Bagnell
I got lost here.
(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
Another amendment on clause 232 is CPC-108.
Would someone from the Conservatives introduce this amendment.
4:05 p.m.
Calgary Midnapore, CPC
Again, I believe it is precluded because LIB-33 was adopted, so CPC-108 and CPC-109 are....
4:05 p.m.
Conservative
4:05 p.m.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Larry Bagnell
Sorry, I made a mistake there.
There's a line conflict with LIB-33, so CPC-108 and CPC-109 cannot be moved. Sorry.
4:05 p.m.
Calgary Midnapore, CPC
That's okay.
(Clause 232 as amended agreed to on division)
(On clause 233)
4:05 p.m.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Larry Bagnell
We have amendment CPC-110. Before the Conservatives present it, there are some ramifications you should be aware of. If it doesn't pass, CPC-151 cannot be moved as they are linked by reference. One relates to a penalty, I think, that wouldn't exist if CPC-110 is defeated.
Would you present CPC-110, please.
