Philippe Méla  Legislative Clerk
Clerk of the Committee  Mr. Marc-Olivier Girard

The Chair Liberal Iqra Khalid

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

I'm sorry, Mr. Moore. I don't see any takers.

Arif Virani Liberal Parkdale—High Park, ON

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

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.

Arif Virani Liberal Parkdale—High Park, ON

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

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.

Arif Virani Liberal Parkdale—High Park, ON

Madam, I believe if you seek it, you shall find unanimous consent to approve every one of the remaining clauses, the title and to submit this back to the House.

The Chair Liberal Iqra Khalid

Do I have that consent to carry clause 3 unanimously?

(Clause 3 agreed to)

Do I have consent to carry the short title unanimously?

Some hon. members

Agreed.

The Chair Liberal Iqra Khalid

Shall the title carry?

Some hon. members

Agreed.

The Chair Liberal Iqra Khalid

Shall the bill as amended carry?

Some hon. members

Agreed.

The Chair Liberal Iqra Khalid

Shall the chair report the bill as amended to the House?

Some hon. members

Agreed.

The Chair Liberal Iqra Khalid

Shall the committee order a reprint of the bill as amended for the use of the House at report stage?

Some hon. members

Agreed.

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?

The Clerk

I don't think so.

The Chair Liberal Iqra Khalid

In that case, this meeting is adjourned.
