There seems to be.... I'm trying to make sure that we have as much certainty and clarity as possible for these guys. Yes, it's big money, but it's entire communities being wiped off the map too if these industries all disappear from their towns.

If there are no more questions....
I had you, Mr. Fillmore, but you're okay?
On the suggestion of Mr. Perkins, we could take a break for a few minutes just to see where all parties are at on G-1 and resume shortly.
I'll suspend briefly.

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound
Dear colleagues, we will resume our meeting and I welcome you once again.
It seems that an agreement has been reached after the huddle and I believe there is consensus among the parties.
I now give the floor to Mr. Perkins.
Conservative
Rick Perkins Conservative South Shore—St. Margarets, NS
Thank you.
With the agreement of all of the parties—the government, the opposition parties, officials and the sponsor of the bill—I think we have an agreement right now to put G-1 into place, with the thought, obviously down the road, that there will be some more work and opportunity perhaps to refine it a little more when it goes to the Senate.
Is everyone else in agreement with that?

Brian Masse NDP Windsor West, ON
I absolutely agree. Thank you again to the sponsor of the bill. To have two bills come through today is pretty historic. Again, thank you to the sponsor.

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound
I gather that G-1 is adopted unanimously.

We will proceed with the required formalities.
Is there unanimous consent to pass clause 1 as amended?

Shall the committee order the Chair to report the bill as amended back to the House?

Shall the committee order the reprinting of the bill as amended for the use of the House during report stage?

Thank you.
Mr. Patzer, I'll add my voice to what Mr. Masse said and congratulate you for your work. I also thank you for being with us today to facilitate the discussion.
Mr. Blanar and Mr. Racine, I also thank you for joining in several times.
Since we've covered all the items on today's meeting agenda, the meeting is adjourned.
