Iqwinder Gaheer Liberal Mississauga—Malton, ON

Can I propose the language? Based on what's been said, we can say for proposed subsection 25.1(2): “For greater certainty, paragraph (1)(c) includes an investment to acquire, in whole or in part, the assets of an entity referred to in that paragraph.”

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound

Can you repeat it once more?

Iqwinder Gaheer Liberal Mississauga—Malton, ON

I will repeat it once more: “For greater certainty, paragraph (1)(c) includes an investment to acquire, in whole or in part, the assets of an entity referred to in that paragraph.”

Rick Perkins Conservative South Shore—St. Margarets, NS

You're deleting the rest.

Iqwinder Gaheer Liberal Mississauga—Malton, ON

Yes.

Rick Perkins Conservative South Shore—St. Margarets, NS

I like that.

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound

Can it be sent in writing and repeated once more very slowly, Mr. Gaheer?

Iqwinder Gaheer Liberal Mississauga—Malton, ON

I will repeat it once more. I'm sorry. I talk really fast.

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound

You talk fast, indeed. For the interpreters, also, it's always good to speak slowly.

Iqwinder Gaheer Liberal Mississauga—Malton, ON

Proposed subsection 25.1(2) would read, “For greater certainty, paragraph (1)(c) includes an investment to acquire, in whole or in part, the assets of an entity referred to in that paragraph.”

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound

You've all heard the terms of the subamendment, and it will be sent in writing, Mr. Gaheer, to the clerk, please.

Iqwinder Gaheer Liberal Mississauga—Malton, ON

Yes, it will be—confirmed.

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound

We've all heard the subamendment, so that's a subamendment to your own amendment.

Wait just one second. You can't—

4:40 p.m.

Conservative

Rick Perkins Conservative South Shore—St. Margarets, NS

I remove mine, and I'll.... Do I remove my subamendment?

Can we propose that as my subamendment? You can't amend your own amendment.

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound

Yes.

We have Mr. Perkins' subamendment as outlined by Mr. Gaheer. You've all heard the terms. In looking around the room, I believe there is unanimous consent.

(Subamendment agreed to)

(Amendment as amended agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

There are no more amendments on clause 12. Are there, Mr. Turnbull?

Ryan Turnbull Liberal Whitby, ON

No. There aren't on that, but I was going to seek unanimous consent to reopen clause 4.

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound

We need to adopt clause 12 first.

(Clause 12 as amended agreed to)

I recognize Mr. Turnbull.

Ryan Turnbull Liberal Whitby, ON

Maybe I'll let Mr. Gaheer....

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound

Go ahead, Mr. Gaheer.

Iqwinder Gaheer Liberal Mississauga—Malton, ON

Thank you, Chair.

I know we agreed, before we took the break for the summer, to revisit some of the clauses as well and seek unanimous consent. We just want to seek your guidance and the clerk's guidance as to what order you would prefer.

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound

Based on my notes, we need unanimous consent to get back to clause 4 and the amendments you proposed in LIB-0.1 in the package.

We need unanimous consent for the amendment that was proposed by Mr. Perkins to clause 7. I'm not sure if it was moved, but it was sent around.

4:45 p.m.

Conservative

Rick Perkins Conservative South Shore—St. Margarets, NS

It was in the original package.

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound

It was in the original package, but it was not moved before we finished clause 7. We'll need unanimous consent for clause 8 for LIB-0.2.

That's basically the order I had in mind. Is that fine with everyone?

An hon. member

No.

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound

No. There is no unanimous consent to get back to clause 4.
