No. The explanation given was that if there's an amendment that seeks to delete a clause in the bill, it's superfluous because one only has to vote against the actual clause. However, prior to the Liberal amendments there were amendments tabled that seek to amend the original clauses. Therefore I suggest we deal with the Liberal amendment subsequent to dealing with the government and NDP amendments. We may decide to proceed with our amendment, depending on what the results of the votes are on the other amendments.
