Mr. Chairman, this is directly relevant to the motions which would be excluded by Mr. Menzies' motion. We cannot say there would be no repercussions if we passed this motion. There are direct consequences for the textile and apparel industries, as well as for the motion already before the Committee.

Mr. Chairman, it is very clear that these motions are important and that they must be considered.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit

Mr. Julian, we are going to the question. You no longer have the floor.

The question on the motion will have a recorded division on Mr. Julian's amendments.

1:10 p.m.

An hon. member

I have a point of order.

1:10 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit

We have called the question. We can't have a point of order once the vote has been called, so we are going to the vote.

These are the amendments to the motion that we have before us, as proposed by Mr. Julian.

1:10 p.m.

NDP

Peter Julian NDP Burnaby—New Westminster, BC

Mr. Chair, I challenge your decision.

1:10 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit

Mr. Julian has challenged my decision on this, so we will now have a motion that the committee sustain the ruling of the chair.

(Motion agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

1:10 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit

Now we will go to the vote on the amendments, with a recorded division on those amendments.

1:10 p.m.

NDP

Peter Julian NDP Burnaby—New Westminster, BC

Mr. Chair, I have a point of order.

1:10 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit

Okay, Mr. Julian, but we're voting on your proposed amendments to the motion, just to clarify that for you.

1:10 p.m.

NDP

Peter Julian NDP Burnaby—New Westminster, BC

I am asking, Mr. Chair, that the amendments to each of the clauses be considered independently, so that we have an individual vote on each of the clauses. There are six clauses. They're very extensive, so what I would like to propose is that we have consideration on each of the amendments that are separate, and a recorded vote on each of those amendments as well.

1:10 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit

We are going to the vote, Mr. Julian. You debated these as though they were one. You moved them. We're going to the vote.

We will have a recorded division on the amendments to the motion.

(Amendments negatived [See Minutes of Proceedings])

1:10 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit

Now, on the motion itself, a recorded division.

Let's vote.

(Motion agreed to--[See Minutes of Proceedings])

1:10 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit

The meeting is now adjourned. The next meeting, of course, is on Tuesday. We will go until we are finished with the clause-by-clause, or until the end of the day, which is midnight, arrives.

We'll have lunch and dinner.

Yes, Monsieur Cardin.

1:15 p.m.

Bloc

Serge Cardin Bloc Sherbrooke, QC

With regard to the motion we just passed to conclude our consideration by November 7, I would just like members to realize that if Mr. Julian is of the same mind as today, we must expect to sit for at least 20 hours, according to my calculations. I just want to warn you. Thank you.

1:15 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit

In the motion, of course, certain clauses have been moved to the start of the discussion and those I think are the clauses that will obviously be in need of the most debate, according to what the members of the committee believe.

We'll adjourn the meeting.
