With the committee's indulgence, what I plan to do is move (h) and (i), as was originally the intention of my motion. When we get to clause 2, we'll add an additional (h) and (i). I'll move the amendment forward at that time and you'll make a ruling at that time.

The Chair Conservative Dean Allison
At that point in time we'll make a ruling. We'll also submit that motion to the other members.
What we're looking at right now is whether the decision of the chair should be sustained.

Are you withdrawing it?
Just so you're informed, you need unanimous consent to withdraw the motion. Do we have unanimous consent?

You guys are all heart. That's great.

A point of order, Mr. Chair.
I don't believe we're actually done on clause 1. We've done amendment 1, but there's a second amendment in clause 1, is there not?

Mr. Chair, you said that we had disposed of clause 1. Did I understand correctly?

The Chair Conservative Dean Allison
No, we have not. We need to vote on clause 1 as it stands in the bill right now. Sorry if I made that confusing. All we did was remove, by unanimous consent, the new amendment. We now go back to the original amendment as it stands for clause 1. That's where we're at right now.

All right, Mr. Chair.
I'll take this opportunity to announce that, immediately afterward, I'll introduce a motion on the continuation of our proceedings.

The Chair Conservative Dean Allison
Thank you.
I think we could probably get unanimous consent on that. We won't need seconders.
That was new clause 1 that has been removed.
