You want to know basically if I'm going to choose to talk about my motion from earlier, from yesterday, or if we'll go straight to clause-by-clause right now. We'll go to clause-by-clause. We'll wait on the other, and we'll vote, obviously, in favour of your withdrawing the motion.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Dean Allison
I'll put the question to the committee then. Do we have unanimous consent to withdraw this motion that's on the table right now?
Carole Lavallée Bloc Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, QC
Mr. Chair, I want to ensure that, when we say we are going to proceed with the clause-by-clause consideration, it is a full consideration, not merely consideration of the first, second or third clause. It must be complete clause-by-clause consideration, right up to adoption of the report. I want to be very certain of that.

I can't promise you...I don't know how the discussion is going to go from here on in, so we have to get to the first clause before we can see where the discussion is going to go. I'm telling you right now that I'm not going to bring up the motion that I was talking about yesterday at the beginning of the meeting. We'll see where things go from there. That's all I can say to you right now. I can't foresee what's going to happen in the next 40 minutes, but we can spend the next two hours debating this motion if we want. I'd say let's withdraw it and let's get on with things.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Dean Allison
Okay, so I'll pose the question again. Do we have the unanimous consent of the committee to withdraw this motion at this particular time?
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Dean Allison
Let's move into clause-by-clause then.
We have a second proposed new clause by the Liberals on pages 3 and 4. The question is, Mr. Silva, do you want to move this clause at this time?
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Dean Allison
There are no further amendments to clause 1, so the question I'm going to put to the committee is shall clause 1 carry the way it is read in the original format?
Are there any additional comments? Mr. Lake.
Conservative
Mike Lake Conservative Edmonton—Mill Woods—Beaumont, AB
I just have a question. We have pages 1, 2, and 3 here. This is my first time going clause-by-clause in any bill, so I will have some questions as we go through them. What are 1, 2, and 3 in our package? What are they referring to? Are 1 and 2 the original? Can you please clarify.

So my question is, shall clause 1 carry as it was written in the bill originally?
Conservative
Lynne Yelich Conservative Blackstrap, SK
So we're going back to yesterday, when we thought we passed clause 1, right?
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Dean Allison
No, we didn't. We only dealt with the first amendment, which was withdrawn.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Dean Allison
The second amendment that was on your package has not been presented, so we go back to the bill the way it was written, and we are going to vote on clause 1 as is.
Conservative
Lynne Yelich Conservative Blackstrap, SK
And there were no changes from the original legislation at that time.
