Division No. 48Government Orders

6:30 p.m.

The Chairman

Order, please. I must now put forthwith every question necessary to dispose of this bill at this stage.

I rise on a point of order.

Division No. 48Government Orders

6:30 p.m.

The Chairman

I am sorry, but we no longer have time for a point of order.

It being 6.30 p.m, pursuant to order adopted earlier this day, it is my duty to interrupt the proceedings and put forthwith every question necessary to dispose of the committee of the whole stage of this bill.

We will first have to put the questions on the remaining amendments and clauses before returning to the deferred divisions. Do hon. members wish to agree that all clauses and amendments have been put and divisions demanded in respect of each of the clauses and amendments, or do we want to go through that now before we start ringing the bells?

Mr. Chairman, I think you should ask if the movers of the motions still want to proceed with moving some of these motions. It is not impossible that some hon. members, having listened to the debate, may not necessarily want to proceed with some amendments. On the other hand, there are others that are similar and they may satisfy that. Perhaps the Chair could put every question and then we could proceed with the vote.

The Chairman

I should say that every one has been deemed to have been proposed. It has not been put. That is the procedural problem the Chair is in but we will put all the clauses.

The first question is on the amendment by the member for Winnipeg Centre to Clause 12. Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt the amendment?

Mr. Chairman, the amendment is the same as amendment BQ-3, therefore amendment L-1 is redundant. I will withdraw the amendment.
