Thank you very much.
We will call the vote on the amendment to the motion. Voting yes signals that members would like to strike part (b) in the motion. Voting no signals that members would like to keep the motion as it was presented by MP Perkins.
(Amendment negatived: nays 6; yeas 5 [See Minutes of Proceedings])
The amendment is defeated. I'm going back to the list now, and next is Mr. Desjarlais.
However, before we turn to Mr. Desjarlais, I will ask Madame Sinclair-Desgagné whether she wishes to speak to the motion.
No? All right.
Mr. Desjarlais, you have the floor. Because I know there are many caucuses meeting next week, I am requesting extra time for this afternoon to get through this and the business at hand.
Mr. Desjarlais, you have the floor to speak to the motion as tabled by Mr. Perkins in its entirety.
