We now have amendment L-2, which is on page 4 of your handout and, as was just mentioned, on pages 8 and 9 of the actual bill.
Mr. Savage, would you like to address that, please?

This clause relates to the one we just passed. It adjusts the table to allow for the hours that we discussed in the previous amendment.

All right. This could be the quickest bill we've gone through. We may be out of here before four o'clock today.
I shouldn't say that. That's the kiss of death. I apologize.
I knew it. I spoke too soon.
Go ahead, Mr. Godin.

Could we say they abstained because they are not voting? For the record, the Conservatives are not voting right now. They have abstained.

It's not nice for the workers. It's nice to know where you stand.

We were on the rails; we're getting off the rails here, guys.
Shall the chair report the bill as amended to the House?

Point of order.
Usually when you ask who is in support of the motion, we raise our hand if we are in favour. The Conservatives have not raised their hand and they have not said no. They abstained up until the last vote. At the last vote, they voted against. They cannot now vote on everything that came before. They abstained; they did not vote.
Do you agree with me?

It has passed. Right now we're at, “Shall the chair report the bill as amended to the House?”

Some hon. members
Agreed.
