Citizenship and Immigration Committee on April 28th, 2008

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

Mr. Chair, can we have a clarification, please?

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

Order, please.

It's been amended twice.

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

We did vote on Mr. Siksay's motion as amended. That motion passed.

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

But we haven't voted on the main motion.

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

As it's in front of us.

[Deepak Obhrai, Conservative, Calgary East, AB]

No--as amended.

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

As amended.

The amendments have been dealt with, so then we go to the main motion as amended.

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

With the word “preliminary” and “May 16” in there.

[A voice]

That's right.

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

Okay. Mr. Khan's motion as amended.

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

As amended.

[Olivia Chow, NDP, Trinity—Spadina, ON]

Recorded vote, please.

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

Would you kindly wait until I call the motion, and then we'll call for a recorded vote.

All in favour of Mr. Khan's motion as amended.

Mr. Clerk, a recorded vote.

(Motion as amended agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

The motion has passed as amended.

Are we ready to move on to consideration of the draft report?

Mr. Telegdi.

[Andrew Telegdi, Liberal, Kitchener—Waterloo, ON]

Can we get the clerk to get us information about putting together a tour on this to travel across Canada on Bill C-50?

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

Mr. Telegdi has asked the clerk to put together the list of witnesses.

[Andrew Telegdi, Liberal, Kitchener—Waterloo, ON]

No, no, to do cross-Canada travel on Bill C-50.

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

To put together what? What are you asking her to do?

[Andrew Telegdi, Liberal, Kitchener—Waterloo, ON]

To put together an itinerary so that we can visit pretty well the same places we visited before.

[An hon. member]

Didn't the committee just negative that?

[Deepak Obhrai, Conservative, Calgary East, AB]

That was defeated.

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

Yes, that was defeated, I thought.

[Andrew Telegdi, Liberal, Kitchener—Waterloo, ON]

No, that wasn't defeated. The joint travel with the finance committee was defeated.

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

That was defeated.

[Andrew Telegdi, Liberal, Kitchener—Waterloo, ON]

No, no, that was only the joint travel with finance. The citizenship and immigration committee travelling by itself was not defeated. What got defeated was.... I didn't want to travel with the finance committee.

[The Chair, Conservative, Norman Doyle]

The clerk tells me that was contained within the amendment of Madam Chow.
