Would anybody like to speak to this outrageous use of quotation marks?

I can assure Mr. Moore that we will take up the matter with Mr. Kusmierczyk, who tabled the amendment.

12:40 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Iqra Khalid

Thank you.

In that case, I will call the question on G-1. Would members like a recorded vote?

Mr. Clerk, go ahead and record the vote, please.

(Amendment agreed to: yeas 11; nays 0)

Now I call the question on clause 2 as amended.

12:45 p.m.

Liberal

Arif Virani Liberal Parkdale—High Park, ON

Madam Chair, do we need to do a recorded division on each clause?

12:45 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Iqra Khalid

I leave it to members to advise me if they would like to do it on division or not, but my standard go-to is to have the vote recorded if I'm not advised beforehand. Because we've started the vote, we'll continue with the vote. I advise members to let me know in advance for future clauses.

Go ahead, Mr. Clerk.

(Clause 2 as amended agreed to: yeas 11; nays 0)

Thank you.

The Chair Liberal Iqra Khalid

Congratulations, committee. We have now gone through what I think is a record for the shortest time that we've spent on clause-by-clause. It is wonderful to see so much unanimity and consensus within our committee for all of the issues that we've discussed today. I really appreciate it.

At this time, Mr. Clerk, is there anything else that I need to go over with committee members?

12:45 p.m.

The Clerk

I don't think so.

12:45 p.m.

The Chair Liberal Iqra Khalid

In that case, this meeting is adjourned.
