Before we vote, I want to explain why I'm allowing this amendment. Previously I disallowed Mr. Viersen's because I thought it was undebatable that the subject of the amendment was completely outside the scope of federal powers. In this case, while I doubt that it's within the scope of federal powers, I do not dispute that there's a legitimate argument that it could be, and as a result I'm allowing this to go forward, in my usual practice of letting the committee decide, rather than just me.
I just wanted to explain this, because obviously somebody could consider it a contradiction that they said this isn't within federal power and I'm still allowing it to go forward. I just wanted to explain it.
Now we'll move to a vote on amendment CPC-24.
(Amendment negatived [See Minutes of Proceedings])
Amendment CPC-24.1 is dropped.
Amendment Lib-8 is dropped because amendment NDP-4.1 was adopted.
Then we have amendment CPC-24.2, which I think is exactly the same on the medical practitioners.
We move, then, to amendment CPC-25.
Mr. Falk, will you put that forward for Mr. Kmiec?
