To clarify, then, this would amend section 127 using the words “no person shall knowingly, directly or indirectly”. We're using the wording you suggested.
Legal Counsel, Legal Services, Department of Citizenship and Immigration
Sorry, Mr. Chair, it would not be amending section 127.
Legal Counsel, Legal Services, Department of Citizenship and Immigration
Yes. I only turned to that wording for guidance.

Olivia Chow NDP Trinity—Spadina, ON
Okay, fine.
Mr. Chair, I think there is a consensus, and I'm fine with that.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative David Tilson
So we don't have a subamendment; we have an amendment.
(Amendment agreed to)
Mr. Dykstra, you have a choice: G-1 or G-1.1.

Actually, I would like to do these on an individual basis, if I could.
Conservative
Rick Dykstra Conservative St. Catharines, ON
If you look at the way it's listed, it has:
That Bill C-35, in Clause 2, be amended by
(a) replacing, in the French version, lines 12 and 13 on page 1 with the following:
And then it goes to (b) and then (c) and then (d).
I would ask that each of those be separated out individually as amendments, and we vote on 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative David Tilson
I'm going to have a go at this. I'll try my best.
As I understand it, we can do (a) in amendment G-1. But we have to deal with the Bloc before we can deal with (b).
Conservative
The Chair Conservative David Tilson
I believe once we get by these early ones, folks, we'll be home free. But you're going to have to bear with me, and I'll bear with you.
Conservative
Rick Dykstra Conservative St. Catharines, ON
In the spirit of compromise here, I will move my amendment number one and then back off to deal with the Bloc amendment.
Conservative
Rick Dykstra Conservative St. Catharines, ON
Yes. Well, it actually becomes number one. It remains (a), but it's number one in terms of an amendment.
Conservative
Rick Dykstra Conservative St. Catharines, ON
Yes, G-1.
These become G-1 through -4, but we're going to deal with G-1 right now, deal with the Bloc amendment, and then come back to deal with the other three amendments.

Is there any debate?
All those in favour?
