There are 17 motions in amendment in the Notice Paper concerning the report stage of Bill C-64, an act respecting employment equity.
Motions Nos. 2 and 12 are the same as the amendments presented and negatived in committee. Accordingly, pursuant to Standing Order 76(5), they have not been selected.
Motion No. 3 cannot be considered today pursuant to Standing Order 76(2).
Motions Nos. 1, 6, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16 and 17 will be grouped for debate. A vote on Motion No. 1 applies to all the others.
Motion No. 4 will be debated and voted on separately.
Motion No. 5 will be debated and voted on separately.
Motion No. 7 will be debated and voted on separately.
Motion No. 11 will be debated and voted on separately.
Motions Nos. 13 and 14 will be grouped for debate and voted on as follows: an affirmative vote on Motion No. 13 obviates the necessity for the question being put on Motion No. 14. However, a negative vote on Motion No. 13 necessitates the question being put on Motion No. 14.
I shall now propose the motions in Group No. 1 to the House.
