For clarity for everyone, I'll read the original motion, the amendment, and then the subamendment.
The original motion is:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Committee study the government's recent decision to waive the Immigration Loans Program repayment requirement for Syrian refugees; that the Committee examine whether waiving this requirement for Syrian refugees and not for other refugee cohorts constitutes a violation of Section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms; that this study be comprised of no less than four meetings to be held prior to May 1, 2016; and that the Committee report its findings to the House.
The amendment reads, “That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Committee study the government's recent decision to waive the Immigration Loans Program repayment requirement for Syrian refugees; and going forward, that the Transportation Loans Program be studied as it relates to all refugees”.
The subamendment adds, “and that a written legal opinion be sought as to whether waiving this requirement for Syrian refugees constitutes a violation of Section 15 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms”.
We will now proceed to the vote.
