I'm new to this, but I would like to know exactly what I'm voting on. I do have the proposed amendments, the documents sent to me on this computer. On my other computer, I actually have Bill C-15, but the proposed amendment is saying line 3 on page 5. In my Bill C-15, I don't have any page number or line number. I'm not sure where the amendment is going. It would be nice to know exactly what the proposed change is.
Is there a document that I'm missing here that would make this easier for me?

The Clerk
Mr. Powlowski, I don't know if you have page 5 of your bill in front of you.

I just don't have a page number on the bill. I have a bill, but the computer version, as far as I see, has no page number on it.
11:40 a.m.
The Clerk
The line number is in the middle, between the two columns. You have a little 5, little 10, little 15, 20, 25. These are the line numbers in English. In French it's on the right side of the page.
The page number is at the bottom of the page in the middle. You have the line numbers and the page number.

They're not in the version that I'm looking at, but I'll figure it out. Thanks.

Yes, someone is showing the page number. Mr. Battiste is showing the page number right now.

Yes, but the version I have doesn't show that. I'll try to find out.

The Clerk
If you can see paragraph 4(a), it says,
affirm the Declaration as a universal international
In the second line, starting with “human rights” the amendment changes this line to read “human rights instrument with application in federal”.

Mr. Powlowski, I had the same problem. You have to click on the PDF. If you scroll up to the top, there's a little red square that says “PDF”. Then you'll get the page numbers and line numbers.

Yes, I do, please.
With everything going on, I think we all have papers everywhere. Clearly, there's back-and-forth. At some points, I'm having the same problem that Mr. Powlowski is having.
There are amendments that we wanted to raise in a previous section. Can we go line by line? I think that would be a lot easier for everyone, rather than bouncing around from place to place. Otherwise, I need to go back, because there are motions I wanted to raise in the clarification section. Going line by line is how I used to do it in previous committees, so is there a possibility of doing that?
