Ladies and gentlemen, it's close enough to 3:30 to get started. I see quorum, so I will bring the meeting to order.
We are dealing with Bill C-93 clause by clause.
The first clause has no amendments.
(Clause 1 agreed to)
(On clause 2)
On clause 2 we have amendment NDP-1, but I have received a note from the legislative clerk that we want to deal with NDP-1 and NDP-2 together. Consequential to NDP-2, the suggested ruling is that it is inadmissible, which would render NDP-1 null.
As this is, in effect, a discussion about the scope of the bill, I'm perfectly prepared to hear Mr. Dubé's arguments as to why both amendments are within the scope of the bill.
