The Clerk of the Committee Ms. Audrée Dallaire

He wishes to speak to the amendment.

9:05 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal René Arseneault

We have now come to Mr. Généreux's amendment.

Mr. Beaulieu's subamendment has just been agreed to.

Just a moment, Mr. Godin, I did see that your hand was raised.

Since Mr. Beaulieu's subamendment has just been agreed to, the elements he wanted to add are now inserted into Mr. Généreux's motion. It does not change the content of the paragraphs of Mr. Généreux's amendment. They have simply shifted to the bottom of the list and now appear after the elements of Mr. Beaulieu's subamendment which we have just agreed to.

So we are now considering Mr. Généreux's amendment as amended.

Go ahead, Mr. Godin.

9:05 a.m.

Mr. Chair, I would like to request a vote on—

9:05 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal René Arseneault

Just a moment. I have to listen to the point of order first.

Go ahead, Mr. Beaulieu.

9:05 a.m.

Bloc

Mario Beaulieu Bloc La Pointe-de-l'Île, QC

Could we receive the full written version?

Does the version that was sent also include the elements of Mr. Généreux's amendment?

9:05 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal René Arseneault

Yes, that is what you received. That is what I was saying: The elements of the subamendment are written in blue, to distinguish them from the elements of the amendment. What is in blue is your subamendment, Mr. Beaulieu.

Getting back to Mr. Généreux's amendment now, that is, what he is proposing to amend in Mr. Godin's motion.

Mr. Godin, you are asking for a vote, is that right?

9:05 a.m.

Conservative

Joël Godin Conservative Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, QC

That's right, Mr. Chair.

9:05 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal René Arseneault

Let's vote then.

9:05 a.m.

Liberal

Marc Serré Liberal Nickel Belt, ON

No, I had raised my hand, Mr. Chair.

9:05 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal René Arseneault

I'm sorry, I had not noticed.

9:05 a.m.

Conservative

Joël Godin Conservative Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, QC

No, he had not raised his hand.

Mr. Chair, I'm sorry, but—

9:10 a.m.

Liberal

Marc Serré Liberal Nickel Belt, ON

No, I have had my hand up for a long time.

9:10 a.m.

Conservative

Joël Godin Conservative Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, QC

—Mr. Serré did not have his hand up.

Could you please check with our clerk?

9:10 a.m.

Liberal

Marc Serré Liberal Nickel Belt, ON

Yes, I have had my hand up for a long time.

9:10 a.m.

Conservative

Joël Godin Conservative Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, QC

When I asked to speak, I was interrupted because Mr. Beaulieu raised a point of order. Mr. Serré's hand was not raised then.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

9:10 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal René Arseneault

We will proceed by order. Mr. Beaulieu raised a point of order so I interrupted Mr. Godin whose hand was raised. So we are back to Mr. Godin then.

If it is for a point of order, Mr. Serré, please go ahead.

9:10 a.m.

Liberal

Marc Serré Liberal Nickel Belt, ON

Mr. Chair, I just wanted to propose a subamendment. What is the process?

9:10 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal René Arseneault

That is not a point of order, Mr. Serré.

So we will move on—

9:10 a.m.

Liberal

Marc Serré Liberal Nickel Belt, ON

In that case, I raise my hand to propose a subamendment after the vote.

9:10 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal René Arseneault

That's fine, I understand.

Now we have to deal with Mr. Généreux's amendment.

You have the floor, Mr. Godin.

No, wait, I am not asking you; a vote has been requested on Mr. Généreux's amendment.
