Justice Committee on Oct. 28th, 2010

[The Chair, Conservative, Ed Fast]

I'm going to call the question, simply because Monsieur Ménard is stuck on his amendment.

Ms. Brown, are you signed in?

[Lois Brown, Conservative, Newmarket—Aurora, ON]

I am. I'm subbing for Bob Dechert.

[The Chair, Conservative, Ed Fast]

Are you signed in, though?

[Lois Brown, Conservative, Newmarket—Aurora, ON]

I've signed in.

[The Chair, Conservative, Ed Fast]

All right.

All those in favour of BQ-1? All those opposed?

(Amendment negatived)

Now, we're still on the bill.

Mr. Lee.

[Derek Lee, Liberal, Scarborough—Rouge River, ON]

Mr. Chair, I'm wondering whether there would be an appetite for an amendment, which I would be prepared to move, that would insert the words, in the French version, “de la bombe” after the word “suicide” in proposed subsection 83.01(1.2).

[The Chair, Conservative, Ed Fast]

Mr. Lee, I'm advised it should be “à la bombe”, not “de la bombe”.

[Derek Lee, Liberal, Scarborough—Rouge River, ON]

Well, then, I'll consider that a friendly amendment to the friendly amendment.

[The Chair, Conservative, Ed Fast]

That's coming from the expert himself: the unilingual Ed Fast.

[Derek Lee, Liberal, Scarborough—Rouge River, ON]

So it's “à la bombe” rather than “de la bombe”.

[The Chair, Conservative, Ed Fast]

Thank you.

[Derek Lee, Liberal, Scarborough—Rouge River, ON]

I would be prepared to move that if it were procedurally correct at this time.

[The Chair, Conservative, Ed Fast]

Yes, it's perfectly in order.

[An hon. member]

Could we have it read in French, please?

[The Chair, Conservative, Ed Fast]

Okay, we'll have it read in French.

The English does not change.

[Wayne Cole, greffier à la procedure]

That Bill S-215, in clause 1, be amended by replacing in the French version, line 7 on page 1, with the following:

(1.2) Il est entendu que l'attentat suicide à la bombe

[The Chair, Conservative, Ed Fast]

All right, you've heard the amendment. Is there any debate?

All those in favour?

(Amendment agreed to)

(Clause 1 as amended agreed to)

(Clause 2 agreed to)

Moving to the title, the BQ amendment can't be made anymore, because the first amendment didn't pass.

We shall then move to the next one--

[Louis Plamondon, Bloc, Bas-Richelieu—Nicolet—Bécancour, QC]

Mr. Chairman, on a point of order.

This amendment cannot be made, but on line 8, the wording should be amended along the same lines as the amendment which was just passed—in other words, by adding those words.

[The Chair, Conservative, Ed Fast]

Would someone like to propose an amendment?

[An hon. member]

[Inaudible--Editor]

[The Chair, Conservative, Ed Fast]

Okay, Mr. Lee, you've made the amendment to reflect the earlier amendment in the title, correct?

I'll have our assistant here read that back.

[Wayne Cole]

That Bill S-215, in clause 1, be amended by replacing in the French version, long title, page 1, with the following:

Loi modifiant le Code criminel, (attentats suicides à la bombe)

[The Chair, Conservative, Ed Fast]

Is that acceptable?

[Louis Plamondon, Bloc, Bas-Richelieu—Nicolet—Bécancour, QC]

“Attentats suicides à la bombe”?

[The Chair, Conservative, Ed Fast]

Right.

So that's the amendment proposed.

All those in favour...?

Sorry, Mr. Murphy.
