Mr. Harris, my understanding is that you're proposing your amendment, NDP-1. As I just said to Mr. Bachand, the ruling on your amendment is the same as the chair of the committee....
We all know that, under the regulations that govern parliamentary committees, we can accept neither this amendment nor that of the Bloc Québécois. This has to do with the terms specified in the royal recommendation.
That being said, and before proceeding with the vote on clause 6, I will turn the floor over to Mr. Hawn.
