It would change it to this: “The Governor in Council may, under paragraph 1(b), make regulations respecting the prohibition of the deposit of raw sewage in waters under the jurisdiction of a port authority.”

Mr. Muys, do you have it in a written format and translated into both official languages?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke
Okay.
Ms. Barron, we'll turn it over to you for a quick question. Go ahead.

Thank you, Chair.
Could you provide clarification, please? I know we just voted on the amendment—or, I'm sorry, perhaps it was a subamendment—by the Bloc.

Just to confirm, are we now going to be voting on the motion as amended? I guess it didn't amend. Could you just clarify, please, what we're voting on so that I have clarity on that?
Thank you.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke
We were looking at what we're calling CPC-9.01, an amendment proposed by Mr. Strahl. We were going to go to a vote on that. However, Mr. Muys proposed wording changes to that amendment. His proposal needs to be in written form, translated into both official languages and distributed to all members.
While we wait to get that from Mr. Muys, this meeting is suspended.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke
I call this meeting back to order.
All members should have received the duly translated subamendment put forward by Mr. Muys.
Mr. Muys, I'll turn the floor over to you to speak to it very briefly. We'll then go to a vote.

Dan Muys Conservative Flamborough—Glanbrook, ON
This is clarified based on the input from Ms. Read about the language in the regulations that exists. Really, it is similar, but hopefully it's worded better.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke
Thank you, Mr. Muys.
I'll turn it over to our clerk so that we can vote on what we are calling CPC-9.01.
Go ahead, Mr. Strahl.

Mark Strahl Conservative Chilliwack—Hope, BC
This was an attempt by Mr. Muys to amend my motion. I want to make sure from Ms. Read, who raised the issue of the nature of the original motion, that this language would, in fact, satisfy the concern or allow for more flexibility.
We took it straight from a previous subamendment that was moved today. It was indicated that it was the language needed to allow for a more robust or flexible development of regulations.
I'm not sure if Ms. Read or the officials there have seen it, but I would like some comment as to whether or not this does address the concern about flexibility and allowing for a more robust regulatory process.
Director General, Marine Policy, Department of Transport
Yes, our understanding, based on the revised wording, is that it would address the concern regarding constraints around flexibility in the making of the regulations.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke
We will now go to a vote. I will read out the reference number so that we're all on the same page. It's 12793443.
I'll pass it over to the clerk to conduct the vote.
(Subamendment agreed to: yeas 10; nays 1 [See Minutes of Proceedings])
Thank you, Madam Clerk.
We'll now go to clause 120 as amended.
I'll turn it over to you, Madam Clerk.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke
I'm sorry; I've already passed it over to the clerk, Mr. Strahl.
Go ahead, Madam Clerk.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke
We're voting on the whole clause as amended, just to be clear, colleagues.
(Clause 120 as amended agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4 [See Minutes of Proceedings])
Shall clause 121 carry, colleagues?
Go ahead, Mr. Strahl.

Mark Strahl Conservative Chilliwack—Hope, BC
Mr. Chair, I would like to move a motion that I submitted on Friday, December 8. The motion says:
That the committee undertake a study on Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting at Airports and Aerodromes (Canadian Aviation Regulations, Section 303) allocating a minimum of three meetings to this study to hear from—
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke
I'm sorry, Mr. Strahl; it's out of order, unfortunately. I have already started discussion on clause 120.

Mark Strahl Conservative Chilliwack—Hope, BC
Okay. I'll just put my hand up in advance of the motion on clause 121, then.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke
That's fine. I just want to make sure we're following the rules, as outlined by the clerk.
Shall clause 121 carry?
Seeing no discussion, we'll go to a vote.
