I see the clerk looking at me with those evil eyes, so I'm not sure if I can actually do that—which, by the way, I am very much used to.

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro
I appreciate that, Mr. Badawey. In order to do that, we have to go back to NDP-1 and have unanimous consent to do that.
Mr. Hardie, go ahead.

I was going to say that Mr. Badawey isn't playing with a full deck here. In fact, I think you are actually working off some old notes here, Vance, because the NDP-1 that you are referring to here isn't the same as the NDP-1 that was passed out.
NDP-1, I think, was something Mr. Aubin looked at or brought forward when it was Bill C-227, when it said “benefit means a social, economic or environmental benefit”. If Mr. Aubin had that note from the first one and was to present that as an amendment, I think he would find that it would be adopted.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro
Okay. Just hold on, Mr. Hardie.
What we're dealing with now, though, is NDP-1. Mr. Badawey is asking that we go back so that he can make an amendment to NDP-1.

Yes. I think Mr. Badawey was looking at an old NDP-1 versus—

We've just handed them out. There's no reason to look at an old one when we've just handed out new ones.
Sorry. Mr. Chong.

Madam Chair, I believe the question in front of the committee right now is whether or not there is unanimous consent to go back to reconsideration of the first amendment.

I'm happy to give that consent, as I'm sure other members will be, if you seek their consent.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro
Okay. We've had the consent. We'll go back to NDP-1.
Make sure Mr. Badawey has the.... These were the ones that were handed out and Mr. Aubin gave us today.
What's your comment?

Basically, Mr. Hardie is right. This is an old document that I'm working from. I'm asking Mr. Aubin if in fact that's what he would want to do, based on the old document that I'm reading from right now.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro
We don't have the old document. The only one who has the old document is you, so you should be dealing with the current document.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro
We're not dealing with the old one. That was before. We're dealing with this one right now. The one in front of us is the only one that we have unanimous consent to deal with.

On a point of clarification, you're working from an old document but I think that's already in Bill C-344. I think it's in the new bill, if you look at clause 1, the exact thing you were suggesting.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro
That was one of the amendments that was adopted when it was before our committee before.
