My understanding procedurally is that we can discuss all of the amendments in a grouping here and then vote on them individually if we wish, because the discussion, as I understand it, crosses from one amendment to the other. We can deal with each amendment, discuss it only, and then vote on it individually, or we can discuss all the amendments in one grouping and then vote on them individually, or if there is consensus, vote on them as a block.
From my understanding from the staff or the clerk, that's procedurally correct to do if it's the will of this committee. So the question at this point would be that you've withdrawn amendments BQ-17 and BQ-18. Is there a desire to in fact discuss amendments BQ-21, BQ-22, and NDP-12 in open discussion and then either vote on the motions independently or vote on them as a block?
Mr. Jean, and then Mr. Julian.
