That's right.
Why don't we start with tabling the amendment? Then we can fill in its missing pieces by subamendment, if I could propose that.
I'll table the amendment. It's to replace lines 8 to 10 on page 3 with the following:
of Transport, the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Natural Resources, prepare a

The amendment has been heard. You have some slight change that you want to propose to it by way of subamendment.
4:40 p.m.
Liberal
Andy Fillmore Liberal Halifax, NS
Yes. I'm just making sure I have all the ministers here. Yes, we're just missing the Minister of Industry here. I would propose to insert the Minister of Industry anywhere in that list.
4:40 p.m.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound
I understand that the Minister of Industry is missing, so you're just proposing to add that minister to the list somewhere in G-12.

I'm striking out what I think is being withdrawn with this rewriting of the clause, so I just want to check to make sure I understand it correctly.
If I'm reading G-12 correctly, what's being deleted after “Minister of Transport” is “the Minister of Finance” and the words “and any minister responsible for economic development in the Prairie provinces”.
Is that correct?

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound
I don't know, Mr. Fillmore, if you can read through it. That's not my understanding. I have, instead of—

Liberal
Andy Fillmore Liberal Halifax, NS
Yes, it is to remove the Prairie provinces minister, because that is “the” minister in the bill, and these are the supporting ministers, the reason being that the minister can't consult with himself or herself. This clause is about the Minister responsible for Prairies Economic Development consulting with these other ministers, so that minister is eliminated from this list.

Rick Perkins Conservative South Shore—St. Margarets, NS
That part makes sense, but I think the Minister of Finance is dropped as well.
4:40 p.m.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound
No, that minister is still there in the amendment. I think Mr. Fillmore was also proposing to just add the Minister of Industry, who is missing in amendment G-12.

Liberal
Andy Fillmore Liberal Halifax, NS
That way it's the same list of ministers that we had in G-3 that's brought forward here.

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound
Is the subamendment to add the Minister of Industry?
I see no opposition to that. We'll just take our time.
Shall the subamendment carry?

Mr. Chair, for clarity, could we get you to read the amended amendment?

Yes, we'll do that before we go on.
Mr. Fillmore, would you like to read it one last time as amended?

I want to let everyone know that CPC‑8 cannot be moved because it is no longer applicable now that G‑12 has been adopted.
Shall clause 5 as amended carry?

That was the last clause, which brings us to the short title.
