Okay.

Hold on a second, Mr. Chair. Give me 30 seconds just to make sure that I....

Okay, Mr. Chair. We just wanted to make sure that everything is okay.

We're going to start with CPC-12, which is on line 4 of page 2.

Gary Anandasangaree Liberal Scarborough—Rouge Park, ON

Mr. Chair, before you proceed, I do have a procedural question. This is for the legislative clerk. I just want to confirm that you received an amendment from me earlier this morning with respect to the preamble at line 19.

12:50 p.m.

Legislative Clerk

Jacques Maziade

Yes, I got this amendment. It's for line 19 on page 3.

Gary Anandasangaree Liberal Scarborough—Rouge Park, ON

That's correct.

Could you maybe advise me on at what point that will be discussed, or would that be at the end?

12:50 p.m.

Legislative Clerk

Jacques Maziade

This one will be discussed as the second-last amendment on the preamble.

Gary Anandasangaree Liberal Scarborough—Rouge Park, ON

Okay. Thank you.

12:50 p.m.

Legislative Clerk

The Chair Liberal Bob Bratina

It's the second-last amendment on the preamble. Alert me when the time comes, okay?

Legislative Clerk

The Chair Liberal Bob Bratina

I believe, Mr. Clerk, that you suggested that CPC-2 is the first matter of business on the preamble amendments.

12:50 p.m.

Legislative Clerk

Jacques Maziade

Yes, it's on the preamble, and it's CPC-12.

The Chair Liberal Bob Bratina

Sorry; it's CPC-12, yes. My ink ran out. I only got a “2” in there. Sorry about that.

Jamie, please go ahead.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

I'd like to add on line 4:
