Iqra Khalid Liberal Mississauga—Erin Mills, ON

Again, this is a technical amendment. This amendment would ensure that the punctuation is consistent among the relevant subparagraphs, as noted.

(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

(Clause 46 as amended agreed to)

(Clauses 47 to 64 inclusive agreed to)

(On clause 65)

Mr. McKinnon.

5:50 p.m.

Liberal

Ron McKinnon Liberal Coquitlam—Port Coquitlam, BC

Thank you, Chair.

This amendment ensures compatibility with similar provisions in the harmonization initiative. It adds the word “or” and a comma, and doesn't change the meaning of the provision. It's just a technical amendment.

5:50 p.m.

The Vice-Chair Mr. Michael Cooper

Is there any discussion on LIB-32?

(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

(Clause 65 as amended agreed to)

(Clause 66 agreed to)

(On clause 67)

We have Liberal amendment 33.

Mr. Fraser.

5:50 p.m.

Liberal

Colin Fraser Liberal West Nova, NS

I'll speak to it, but it's pretty well the same change that was made a moment ago on LIB-32 by adding consistency with the harmonization initiative. It's a technical amendment.

5:50 p.m.

The Vice-Chair Mr. Michael Cooper

Thank you.

Is there any discussion on LIB-33?

(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

We have Liberal amendment 34.

Madame Fortier.

5:50 p.m.

Liberal

Mona Fortier Liberal Ottawa—Vanier, ON

Thank you very much.

This also would ensure compatibility with a similar provision in the harmonization initiative.

5:50 p.m.

The Vice-Chair Mr. Michael Cooper

Is there any discussion on Liberal-34?

(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

(Clause 89 as amended agreed to)

(Clauses 90 to 97 inclusive agreed to)

(On clause 98)

We will now proceed to clause 98 where we have Liberal amendment 35.

Mr. Ehsassi.

5:50 p.m.

Liberal

Ali Ehsassi Liberal Willowdale, ON

Mr. Chair, thank you for allowing me to speak to that.

Much like the previous amendment, this is a compatibility amendment as well. In this particular instance it's to ensure that the provisions on the recovery of an overpayment are compatible with similar provisions in the harmonization initiative.

If you look at those changes, adding the word “or” or the comma that follows will not change the meaning of the provision.

5:55 p.m.

The Vice-Chair Mr. Michael Cooper

Thank you.

Is there any discussion?

(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

(Clause 98 as amended agreed to)

Could we get some clarification? What is LIB-37?

5:55 p.m.
