International Trade Committee on May 19th, 2016

[The Chair, Liberal, Mark Eyking]

For the hardest-working committee that gets along the best, there are precedents being set here today that might take us off that number one record.

Mr. Hoback, you have a point there, and—

[Kyle Peterson, Liberal, Newmarket—Aurora, ON]

There doesn't need to be any justification for the adjournment. I moved that we adjourn this debate.

[Randy Hoback, Conservative, Prince Albert, SK]

Actually, once there's a move to adjourn, you cannot debate it. That's true.

[The Chair, Liberal, Mark Eyking]

We have a motion on the floor to adjourn the debate—

[Randy Hoback, Conservative, Prince Albert, SK]

You haven't dealt with the amendment before his amendment.

[The Chair, Liberal, Mark Eyking]

—and that's not debatable.

[Randy Hoback, Conservative, Prince Albert, SK]

He can't move a motion until the amendment is dealt with.

[Tracey Ramsey, NDP, Essex, ON]

Mr. Chair, I would like to say, on the second amendment that was proposed by the June 29 date, that June 29 is the committee's date, not the government's date. So the government and the minister could provide us with this information by June 29.

[The Chair, Liberal, Mark Eyking]

Okay.

[Kyle Peterson, Liberal, Newmarket—Aurora, ON]

I think Mr. Hoback raised a good procedural point, that the amendments, I think, have to be dealt with before my adjournment motion is dealt with.

So I'm happy to deal with the amendments.

[The Chair, Liberal, Mark Eyking]

We have an amendment. I think everybody understands the amendment. Can we just have a vote on the amendment?

All in favour of the amendment, raise your hand—

[Tracey Ramsey, NDP, Essex, ON]

Which one? There are two amendments on the table.

[The Chair, Liberal, Mark Eyking]

The one that you changed to “Canadians and other...”.

[Tracey Ramsey, NDP, Essex, ON]

Oh, the first one. Okay.

[The Chair, Liberal, Mark Eyking]

Right? That's the amendment I see on the floor.

[Tracey Ramsey, NDP, Essex, ON]

Yes, okay. I thought there was a second one.

[The Chair, Liberal, Mark Eyking]

Does everybody understand that amendment?

[Tracey Ramsey, NDP, Essex, ON]

There are three amendments.

[The Chair, Liberal, Mark Eyking]

All in favour of that amendment?

[Tracey Ramsey, NDP, Essex, ON]

Non-Canadians: the first amendment by Randy.

[The Chair, Liberal, Mark Eyking]

Yes.

(Amendment negatived [See Minutes of Proceedings])

That amendment is not going to go through.

Did we want to continue on and go with the main motion?

[Tracey Ramsey, NDP, Essex, ON]

We have a second amendment.

[The Chair, Liberal, Mark Eyking]

Do you want to read the second amendment, clerk? I don't know what it is.

[Tracey Ramsey, NDP, Essex, ON]

She wanted to strike the second portion of (d).

[The Clerk]

Ms. Ramsey, is it to delete the part that starts with “including the number of comments”?
