It says “and support groups working to that end and advocacy groups in particular”.
What I'd like to do is this. We've had a long discussion on one motion and one amendment, so I'd like to call a vote on the amendment only.

Yes, it is advocacy groups. It says so in French: défense des droits.
Those opposed to the amendment, please raise your hands.
The amendment is carried.

The Chair Liberal Yasmin Ratansi
Sure, you can have a recorded vote. The clerk will take a recorded vote on the amendment? She wants the amendment and the motion. Yes, we already did a vote on the amendment.
We can do it.

That is an amended motion now. We have passed the amendments to this motion, so what we're voting on now is the complete motion with the amendments in, correct?

The Chair Liberal Yasmin Ratansi
On the amended motion, right. So now the motion as amended reads what Madam Demers has proposed.
Yes, Ms. Smith.

Can you just clarify something for me? I was trying to get your attention. What I wanted was a recorded vote on the amendment to indicate that no, we did not agree with this amendment.
Now we're doing the motion with the amendment in it, and you're going to force us to vote against the motion because we can't agree. The motion is changed then, if that amendment goes into here. So could we please have a recorded vote on the amendment and then have a recorded vote on the motion? At least we can indicate where we stand. Because I can't support the motion with that amendment in it.

Okay, we'll go to the amendment and take a recorded vote.

You have all received the Status of Women Canada estimates. We have requested the minister to appear. We've given her two dates, May 1 and May 3, so we will keep you apprised.
Next week we continue with the economic study of women, and we will be going through the report as well.
Thank you very much. The meeting is adjourned.
