I move that clause 22 of Bill C-43 be amended by replacing line 25 on page 7 with the following:
tions on the person, taking into account their needs and public safety.
The comment that I made on the previous amendment would apply to this particular amendment. If you would like, I could repeat it.

I have that same question. The word “their” in this case I'm assuming applies to the permanent resident or foreign national, rather than the office, right?

I just want to be clear. The mover understands we are talking about individuals who are inadmissible based on the grounds of security.
Liberal
Kevin Lamoureux Liberal Winnipeg North, MB
Yes, I do understand that. There are certain conditions or situations that this amendment would take into consideration, and I think there is some merit for that. That's the reason we moved the amendment.

I know what you guys are thinking, but you can't pass Liberal amendments on division.
Conservative
Rick Dykstra Conservative St. Catharines, ON
We said no and he asked for division, but you're good, Mr. Lamoureux. The government will not be supporting this amendment.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative David Tilson
Then it fails. I'm just here counting. You guys have to do what you have to do.
(Amendment negatived)

Chair, I want to ask whether people want me to read this into the record. Shall I read it in, or did you not want it read?
Conservative
The Chair Conservative David Tilson
I don't know. We've been doing everything so it's your choice.
If you say nothing, I'll deem it to have been read in.

Okay, thank you very much, but I do have a few comments I'd like to make.
