Citizenship and Immigration Committee on Feb. 13th, 2008

[Ed Komarnicki, Conservative, Souris—Moose Mountain, SK]

From royal assent.

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

Yes, from royal assent.

Is everyone clear on that? That's the subamendment.

Okay, the procedure, according to the legislative clerk, is to vote on the subamendment now.

[Maurizio Bevilacqua, Liberal, Vaughan, ON]

Mr. Chairman, is it possible for the individual who moved the 180 days to withdraw the motion?

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

Yes, he has, because we're on the subamendment by Mr. Telegdi, which was....

It's not withdrawn? Okay, I'm sorry.

So we deal with the subamendment first, the 365 days?

(Subamendment agreed to)

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

Shall the amendment as amended carry?

[Jim Karygiannis, Liberal, Scarborough—Agincourt, ON]

Mr. Chair, I have a point of order. Do you deal with a subamendment first, or a subamendment and then with the addition to the subamendment? My subamendment to Mr. Telegdi's was—

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

The clerk tells me you deal with the subamendment first, and we adopted that, and if there is—

[Jim Karygiannis, Liberal, Scarborough—Agincourt, ON]

I'm sorry, was that the legislative clerk or the clerk of the committee? Which clerk, Mr. Chair?

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

It was the legislative clerk.

And if there are further subamendments, we deal with the further subamendments. So that subamendment has passed now.

The second subamendment coming from Mr. Karygiannis is...?

[Jim Karygiannis, Liberal, Scarborough—Agincourt, ON]

It's that we have a report to this committee within the 365 days from the department as to.....

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

Are you sure you want to put that forward, Mr. Karygiannis?

[Jim Karygiannis, Liberal, Scarborough—Agincourt, ON]

Why not?

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

Because it's not going to fly, I don't think.

Do you want us to vote on it? Okay.

You've heard Mr. Karygiannis's subamendment.

(Subamendment negatived [See Minutes of Proceedings])

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

Do we have any further subamendments? Which one should I deal with now, Mr. Legislative Clerk?

We're on the amendment as amended by Mr. Telegdi.

(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

(Clause 14 as amended agreed to)

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

Shall the title carry?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

Shall the bill as amended carry?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

Shall the chair report the bill as amended to the House?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

Thank you for your attention.

Now we will go to Mr. Komarnicki.

[Ed Komarnicki, Conservative, Souris—Moose Mountain, SK]

Given that we've moved this far and gone this far....

The bill's already done.

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

The bill was passed, yes.

[Ed Komarnicki, Conservative, Souris—Moose Mountain, SK]

I propose a motion that the following be added to the committee report of Bill C-37 to the House:

That the committee recommend to the House that Bill C-37 be passed at all remaining stages, without further amendment, as soon as possible.

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

That's what we've been working on all of today.

(Motion agreed to)
