Industry Committee on Feb. 15th, 2011

[John Rafferty, NDP, Thunder Bay—Rainy River, ON]

This would be a fairly quick afternoon, I think, if this follows to form here.

I would like to move NDP-2, please.

[The Chair, Conservative, David Sweet]

You've moved amendment NDP-2, is that correct, Mr. Rafferty?

[John Rafferty, NDP, Thunder Bay—Rainy River, ON]

Yes.

[The Chair, Conservative, David Sweet]

Okay.

(Amendment negatived)

(Clauses 1 and 2 negatived)

(Clause 3 agreed to)

(On clause 4)

On clause 4, I have been notified of two possible NDP amendments.

Mr. Rafferty, do you want to move those?

[John Rafferty, NDP, Thunder Bay—Rainy River, ON]

I would like to move NDP-3, please.

(Amendment negatived)

[The Chair, Conservative, David Sweet]

Can I assume you've moved NDP-4, Mr. Rafferty?

[John Rafferty, NDP, Thunder Bay—Rainy River, ON]

Yes.

(Amendment negatived)

(Clause 4 negatived)

(On clause 5)

[The Chair, Conservative, David Sweet]

I understand, Mr. Rafferty, you may want to move two amendments on clause 5.

[John Rafferty, NDP, Thunder Bay—Rainy River, ON]

Can I do them both at the same time?

[The Chair, Conservative, David Sweet]

No, sir. NDP-5 would be the first one.

[John Rafferty, NDP, Thunder Bay—Rainy River, ON]

All right. I'd like to move NDP-5, please.

(Amendment negatived)

[The Chair, Conservative, David Sweet]

Can I assume NDP-6 has been moved, Mr. Rafferty?

[John Rafferty, NDP, Thunder Bay—Rainy River, ON]

Yes.

(Amendment negatived)

(Clause 5 negatived)

[The Chair, Conservative, David Sweet]

There are no amendments on clause 6, correct, Mr. Rafferty?

[John Rafferty, NDP, Thunder Bay—Rainy River, ON]

Could I speak very briefly to this clause?

[The Chair, Conservative, David Sweet]

Certainly.

[John Rafferty, NDP, Thunder Bay—Rainy River, ON]

This clause is the cause for the Speaker's decision on the royal recommendation for this bill. Just as a reminder, this is not an amendment, this is a clause. And this is, I guess you could say, the offending clause for the Speaker. I'd like to ask the chair to go ahead, then.

[The Chair, Conservative, David Sweet]

Thank you, Mr. Rafferty.

(Clauses 6 and 7 negatived)

[The Chair, Conservative, David Sweet]

Shall the title carry?

Yes, Mr. Bouchard.

[Robert Bouchard, Bloc, Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, QC]

Mr. Chair, I am aware that we don't usually go back on a vote, but I would like to know whether clause 2 was defeated or carried.

[The Chair, Conservative, David Sweet]

Clause 2 was defeated.

[Robert Bouchard, Bloc, Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, QC]

What was the count?

[The Chair, Conservative, David Sweet]

Four yes, six no.

[Robert Bouchard, Bloc, Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, QC]

Okay.

Everything happened really quickly. Will the committee allow me to vote again on clause 2, if possible?

[The Chair, Conservative, David Sweet]

There would have to be unanimous consent. Do you have consent?

Mr. Garneau.
