Official Languages Committee on Feb. 14th, 2008

[Daniel Petit, Conservative, Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC]

The language industry: the title of the plan, that's it.

[The Chair, Conservative, Steven Blaney]

So that's—

[Daniel Petit, Conservative, Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC]

It's a question of government. Mr. Bélanger has grasped exactly what it's about; you can see he was previously a minister.

[The Chair, Conservative, Steven Blaney]

I would be prepared to receive comments on Mr. Petit's amendment.

[Raymond Gravel, Bloc, Repentigny, QC]

We're voting. I'm ready to vote.

[Jean-Claude D'Amours, Liberal, Madawaska—Restigouche, NB]

Mr. Chairman, since no one is on the list, I request a vote.

[The Chair, Conservative, Steven Blaney]

No one's on the list. Do the members wish to proceed with the vote on the amendment? We'll proceed with the vote on the amendment.

(Amendment negatived)

[Raymond Simard, Liberal, Saint Boniface, MB]

Now we vote on the main motion?

[The Chair, Conservative, Steven Blaney]

Do committee members wish to vote on the main motion?

[Jean-Claude D'Amours, Liberal, Madawaska—Restigouche, NB]

Mr. Chairman, I request a recorded vote, please.

[The Chair, Conservative, Steven Blaney]

So it will be a recorded vote. I'll let the clerk call the names.

(Motion agreed to: yeas 7; nays 3)

[The Chair, Conservative, Steven Blaney]

In view of the time, we'll continue the study of the report in camera at the next meeting.

Thank you.

The meeting is adjourned.
