The amendment was put forward in its printed form, so may I move a subamendment? Is that what needs to happen to strike the one line we've discussed?

The Chair Liberal Bryan May
He's considering the current form as the moved form with the appropriate....

I have another question for the officials, though.
Is this change going to have any impact on any part of the legislation? I know you're not drafters, but is this going to have an impact on anything else if we remove those words later on in the legislation, or before, that we need to be aware of?
I don't really like drafting on the fly because I know this causes problems, but I know I've put us in this position.

Not that we're aware of.

I'd like to suggest we call the vote so that we can actually go and vote in the House.
We're voting on LIB-15.1 in its form as it was tabled—

—which includes the removal of “in relation to occurrences of harassment and violence”.

l would suggest that you get us a written copy of the way it looks now so that we have the official copy, and then we go to vote in the House, and then come back. We're coming back either way, but we've got a few more clauses to go through.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Bryan May
Fair enough. We can do that. Agreed?
Okay, we're going to suspend, and hopefully we'll all be back here shortly.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Bryan May
Welcome back, everybody.
We have in front of us LIB-15.1 and I believe we are ready to move forward. Okay. Does everyone have a copy of the new amendment?
Yes?

Certainly, there will be a recorded vote on LIB-15.1.

Very good, everybody. That was an important one to get right. Thank you.
We're on LIB-16.
Mr. Ruimy.

This is similar to the five-year timing, but it's just connecting all the dots and making sure all the different departments are following the same thing.

Steven Blaney Conservative Bellechasse—Les Etchemins—Lévis, QC
Again, I find this amendment constructive. I also tabled amendment CPC-8 and I believe that the first part would be redundant but that the second part—maybe we can get there once we've dealt with this motion—would still add to the bill.
Yes, I support this motion presented by Mr. Ruimy.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Bryan May
Thank you.
Is there any further discussion of LIB-16?
(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
Shall clause 21 carry as amended?
(Clause 21 as amended agreed to)
(Clauses 22 to 24 inclusive agreed to)
We go to amendment CPC-8.
Monsieur Blaney.
