You should. It should be in that email.

Hold on a second.

Mr. Schmale, if I may...?

I'm the other legislative clerk. Is your amendment on line 4 to replace the whole paragraph, or...? I'm not exactly sure.

12:50 p.m.

Conservative

Jamie Schmale Conservative Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—Brock, ON

It's a new paragraph.

12:50 p.m.

Legislative Clerk

Philippe Méla

It's to add a new paragraph after “resources”?

12:50 p.m.

Conservative

Jamie Schmale Conservative Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—Brock, ON

Yes, that's correct.

12:50 p.m.

It's on line 6—after line 6.

Conservative

Jamie Schmale Conservative Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—Brock, ON

Yes, sir.

12:50 p.m.

Legislative Clerk

Philippe Méla

Thank you.

The Chair Liberal Bob Bratina

On amendment CPC-12, we're ready for the vote, Mr. Clerk. We'll have a recorded division.

(Amendment negatived: nays 7; yeas 4)

I believe now, with advice from the clerks, that we have LIB-3, reference number 11253231.

12:50 p.m.

Legislative Clerk

Jacques Maziade

As I understand it, I think Mr. Schmale has another paragraph that he would like to insert after line 6 on page 2.

Am I correct, Mr. Schmale?

12:50 p.m.

Conservative

Jamie Schmale Conservative Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—Brock, ON

You are correct, sir.

12:50 p.m.

Legislative Clerk

Jacques Maziade

Okay. This is CPC-13.

The Chair Liberal Bob Bratina

Go ahead, Jamie.

12:50 p.m.

Conservative

Jamie Schmale Conservative Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—Brock, ON

Thank you, Chair. It's lucky 13. It reads, “Whereas the Government of Canada acknowledges that providing clarity with respect to Indigenous rights and the Crown's duty to consult and, if appropriate, accommodate is fundamental to enhancing regulatory certainty and improving Canada's competitiveness;”.

The Chair Liberal Bob Bratina

The clerk has that text.

The Clerk

Yes, Mr. Chair.

The Chair Liberal Bob Bratina

We'll take a recorded division.

(Amendment negatived: nays 7; yeas 4 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

The Chair Liberal Bob Bratina

Are we ready for the Liberal amendment yet? Mr. Clerk, what's next on our business?

12:55 p.m.

Legislative Clerk

Jacques Maziade

Give me just 15 seconds, because Mr. Schmale has another amendment at the end of.... I'm trying to find the paragraph, and I don't know if it goes before amendment LIB-3. Hold on a second.

12:55 p.m.

Conservative

Jamie Schmale Conservative Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—Brock, ON

I believe it's line 37.
