Conservative

The Chair Conservative Garry Breitkreuz

I'll go through this slowly.

The amendment would come in after the word “study” in the first line in English. It would be “That the Public Safety and National Security Committee study the issues arising out of the”--and then continue with the motion--“incident involving the tragic death of Robert Dziekanski.” Did I get that right?

The Chair Conservative Garry Breitkreuz

Okay. Did you get the translation, Monsieur Ménard? We've added five words in English after “study”, “the issues arising out of”.

Okay, the question is on--

Bloc

Réal Ménard Bloc Hochelaga, QC

I'm not sure that “questions” is the right translation in that sense.

4 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Garry Breitkreuz

Yes, but the question is on the amendment. That's what I was going to start with.

Monsieur Ménard, is that clearer than mud or not?

4 p.m.

Bloc

Serge Ménard Bloc Marc-Aurèle-Fortin, QC

Are you sure that “questions” is really the correct translation of “issues”? “Questions” are also “questions and answers,” but here, “issues” are topics.

4 p.m.

The Chair Conservative Garry Breitkreuz

The interpreters have clarified that for you, I hope.

We'll vote first on the amendment. So the question is on the amendment as has been suggested.

We'll go now to future business, and we can decide if we want to deal with this again on the 13th, as suggested.

We're going to pause for a moment and go in camera.
