Conservative

Bob Dechert Conservative Mississauga—Erindale, ON

Mr. Chair, if I could ask for one clarification, what is the chair's view of the use of the word “adopted” in terms of the motion, that the clauses be adopted and the bill be reported to the House?

5:25 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Ed Fast

I'm not sure we have to get into the word “adopted”, because all of the clauses have been carried. I'm assuming that after the recorded vote, one way or another, we assume there will be a result, so I'm not sure the word “adopted”—

5:25 p.m.

Conservative

Bob Dechert Conservative Mississauga—Erindale, ON

The word “adopted” is part of the bill, I assume is what it means.

5:25 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Ed Fast

“Adopted”, which would be “carried”—

5:25 p.m.

Conservative

Bob Dechert Conservative Mississauga—Erindale, ON

That is, “adopted” is part of the bill.

5:25 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Ed Fast

Yes, although the term that is customarily used at this table would be “carried”.

5:25 p.m.

Conservative

Bob Dechert Conservative Mississauga—Erindale, ON

Okay.

5:25 p.m.

5:25 p.m.

We'll call the recorded vote.
