The Chair Conservative Daryl Kramp
Yes. Thank you very much, Mr. Hsu.
First of all we had a vote on the amendment to the amendment, a subamendment.
Now we are voting on the amendment, and then after that we would be voting on the motion.
We are voting now on Mr. Garrison's amendment.
4:45 p.m.

The Chair Conservative Daryl Kramp
This would be Mr. Garrison's amendment, as amended by Ms. James' subamendment.
So now we'll have a recorded vote.
(Amendment as amended agreed to: yeas 5; nays 4 [See Minutes of Proceedings])
We will now call for the vote on the motion.

The Chair Conservative Daryl Kramp
Yes, absolutely. The motion as amended reads:
That the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security begin its study of Bill C-51 at 8:45 a.m. on Tuesday, March 10, 2015, and that the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, and appropriate departmental officials from each be invited to appear for a full two (2) hours; That the Committee have a further eight (8) meetings with witnesses on the Bill, with up to two (2) panels and three (3) witnesses per panel; That the Committee shall proceed to clause-by-clause consideration of the Bill no later than March 31, 2015 at 8:45a.m.; that proposed witness lists be submitted to the Clerk of the Committee by Thursday, February 26, 2015, at 6:00 p.m.; and That all amendments to the Bill be submitted to the Clerk of the Committee before 9:00 a.m. on Friday, March 27, 2015, and be distributed to members in both official languages.
That is the semblance of the motion as amended. First of all, the subamendment to the amendment and now the amendment to the motion.
We are now voting on the motion as amended.

I would like to say something before we adjourn.
I am extremely disappointed that our parliamentary right to speak has been stifled. I expected better than that from the Conservative government.

I would like to say that I believe there was a filibuster and Canadians should be happy that they heard everything that the NDP had to say and they heard what we had to say and therefore I move for adjournment.
