Could we have a recorded division?
(Amendment agreed to: yeas 10; nays 0 [See Minutes of Proceedings])
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Ron McKinnon
That finishes new clause 21.1.
We can go ahead with clause 22, but since Madam Michaud had to step out, I think it's a good time for a break. We've had two hours since our last break.
The meeting will suspend for 10 minutes.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Ron McKinnon
I call the meeting back to order. The break is over.
(On clause 22)
We are at clause 22 unamended.

Mr. Chair, can I ask some questions on clause 22?
Conservative
Dane Lloyd Conservative Sturgeon River—Parkland, AB
Just for the officials here, with respect to all of these amendments we have been dealing with on this, we assume they are going to have a public safety impact, but what is the sort of evidence you have seen, as experts in your own fields? We already have existing laws dealing with a lot of these things. How is passing this going to improve public safety?
Can you tell me what tangible impacts this will have?

Clause 22 has no amendments on it. We are on clause 22. You can continue if you wish.

Pam Damoff Liberal Oakville North—Burlington, ON
Did amendments BQ-8 and G-42 not pass?
Oh, we are on the new one. I am sorry, Chair.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Ron McKinnon
If officials wish to speak to any of this stuff, they are certainly welcome to do so, but I think we have to be aware of the limitations of what they can and can't speak to.
Shall clause 22 carry?

I'd like to raise a point of order, Mr. Chair.

I just have a question. I noticed that Ms. Block's camera was turned off when she voted. Is that acceptable under our rules for hybrid sessions in Parliament?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Ron McKinnon
In principle, you should have a camera on. However, we do have times when there are communications issues and so forth, and we have to have the thing off.
I certainly recognize Ms. Block's voice.
Conservative
Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB
Aren't we the public safety committee? Shouldn't we be sensitive to these sorts of things?
Bloc
Kristina Michaud Bloc Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia, QC
She turned her camera on, so I can see that it is, indeed, her.
Thank you.
Conservative
