The Chair Conservative Merv Tweed
We will go back to clause 17 at our next meeting.
I know Mr. Julian has offered an amendment, and I know Mr. McGuinty has a small piece of business at the end of this meeting. What I would like to do is have Mr. Julian, with Mr. Laframbroise's approval, which I think is there, come back to the next meeting with that amendment and we'll vote on it.

NDP
Peter Julian NDP Burnaby—New Westminster, BC
No, I'm proposing it now, Mr. Chair, so we could just vote on the subamendment and vote on the amendment.

The Chair Conservative Merv Tweed
All right. I was just trying to get the terminology the way we have it.
5:25 p.m.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Merv Tweed
Okay. So what I will do, then, is ask either my good friend beside me to read the amendment, or perhaps, Mr. Julian, you would like to read the amendment into the record.

NDP
Peter Julian NDP Burnaby—New Westminster, BC
I'm proposing to add the word “may” before the word “attempt”.
5:25 p.m.
NDP
Peter Julian NDP Burnaby—New Westminster, BC
It would be inserted before the verb “attempt”.
Before “attempt”.

The Chair Conservative Merv Tweed
Okay, seeing no further discussion--and I didn't hear anything different from my earpiece--I will ask if the amendment as amended shall carry.
(Subamendment agreed to)
(Amendment agreed to)

The Chair Conservative Merv Tweed
Mr. McGuinty talked to me at the start of the meeting, and I said I would leave a couple of minutes at the end to discuss some of the future meetings.
Mr. McGuinty, very briefly.

Liberal
David McGuinty Liberal Ottawa South, ON
It's just about tomorrow evening's potential meeting, Mr. Chair, and whether or not the committee would be amenable to postponing it until next week.

Brian Jean Conservative Fort McMurray—Athabasca, AB
First of all, I have to make mention that Mr. McGuinty asked for this meeting, I think in relation to infrastructure.

Brian Jean Conservative Fort McMurray—Athabasca, AB
I was hoping that since Mr. Julian, Mr. McGuinty, and Mr. Scott weren't going to be here, we could actually deal with the clauses that we've just put to the next meeting.
5:25 p.m.
NDP
Peter Julian NDP Burnaby—New Westminster, BC
So we would not be having a meeting tomorrow. I think that's fair, because Mr. McGuinty actually requested the meeting for last Wednesday--
5:25 p.m.

--and it's not fair, given the Liberal convention, that it be put this Wednesday.
