Scott Reid Conservative Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, ON

For greater certainty, Mr. Chair, I now move separately and severally each of the amendments that Mr. Richards moved, with the change that the words “no later than June 21, 2016” be dropped. Please consider those to have been moved.

Can we do that?

Scott Reid Conservative Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, ON

I'm happy to read them into the record if you wish.

The Chair Liberal Larry Bagnell

Mr. Reid, the clerk informs me you can't move an amendment to motions that aren't before the floor, and our time is up.

1 p.m.

Conservative

Scott Reid Conservative Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, ON

No, I'm not moving amendments. I'm actually moving motions that are identical in wording, except that the words after “Committee” in the last line are not contained in each of those. I'd be happy to read them into the record.

1 p.m.

The Chair Liberal Larry Bagnell

Are you moving new motions?

1 p.m.

Conservative

Scott Reid Conservative Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, ON

They would be new motions.

1 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Larry Bagnell

The clerk informs me that you cannot move more motions while there's a motion on the floor under debate.

Our time is up, but my initial prima facie ruling would be that Mr. Reid made a good point on this motion, and that because the amendment's on the floor, that would make it timely. That's eligible. I'll consult further, but it appears to me that the others will have expired. We're still within the time limit though, so you could just resubmit them without those last words. With the 48 hours, you have lots of time.

Is everyone set with that?

The meeting is adjourned.
