Is there any discussion?

(Amendment negatived [See Minutes of Proceedings])

We're now on Liberal amendment number 10.

4:40 p.m.

Liberal

Hedy Fry Liberal Vancouver Centre, BC

Mr. Chair, again this is with regard to a letter from the lead medical officer of health of the government of the province that endorses the application. I'm going to remove that.

I move that Bill C-2, in clause 5, be amended by replacing lines 12 and 13 on page 9 with the following:

located that provides rationale for and endorses the application for the exemption;

4:40 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Daryl Kramp

Thank you very much.

Is there any discussion?

4:40 p.m.

Liberal

Hedy Fry Liberal Vancouver Centre, BC

Our rationale is the same. It's an intrusion by the federal government into other governments and other areas under provincial and territorial jurisdiction

4:40 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Daryl Kramp

Thank you very much.

(Amendment negatived)

Now we have Liberal amendment number 11.

4:40 p.m.

Liberal

Hedy Fry Liberal Vancouver Centre, BC

Mr. Chair, I withdraw the original and I'm again replacing it with the same. This is asking about a letter from the provincial minister responsible for public safety. I move that that Bill C-2, in clause 5, be amended by replacing lines 17 and 18 on page 9 with the following:

provides rationale for and endorses the application for the exemption;

Once again, my rationale is the same: intrusion into a provincial minister's jurisdiction.

4:45 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Daryl Kramp

Is there any further discussion?

(Amendment negatived)

Now on to Liberal amendment number 12.

4:45 p.m.

Liberal

Hedy Fry Liberal Vancouver Centre, BC

Liberal number 12 asks that clause 5 be amended by deleting lines 19 to 42 on page 9. And again, the rationale is the same.

4:45 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Daryl Kramp

Thank you.

Do we have a copy of that, or can you read that out, sir?

4:45 p.m.

The Clerk

There are no changes.

4:45 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Daryl Kramp

Oh, it is the same. Excuse me.

Is there any further discussion?

(Amendment negatived)

And now from the Green Party, number 7, please.

Ms. May.

4:45 p.m.

Green

Elizabeth May Green Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC

Very quickly, Mr. Chair, this replaces the line on page 9 that currently states:

information on crime and public nuisance in the municipalities in which supervised consumption sites are located,

I replaces it with the following:

information, including trends, on crime and public nuisance

Thank you.

4:45 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Daryl Kramp

Thank you very much.

Is there any further discussion?

(Amendment negatived)

Now we have liberal amendment number 13.

4:45 p.m.

Liberal

Hedy Fry Liberal Vancouver Centre, BC

Again, Mr. Chair, this is as it is. I am no longer withdrawing my motions.

It's pretty simple. It is deleting lines 40 to 42, on page 9, in clause 5, which request that law enforcement statistics be submitted by the applicant. Again, I think that is unnecessary because it would have been included in the original letter from the police.

4:45 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Daryl Kramp

Thank you very much.

Is there any further discussion?

(Amendment negatived)

Ms. Fry, just so that you know, you're well past the time, so there will be no more discussion on this round.

4:45 p.m.
