Before getting into debate I will give the Speaker's ruling with regard to Bill C-35 and the grouping of the motions.
There are seven motions in amendment standing on the notice paper for the report stage of Bill C-35, An Act to amend the Special Import Measures Act and the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act.
Motion No. 1 will be debated and voted on separately.
Motion No. 2 will be debated and voted on separately.
Motions Nos. 3 to 6 will be grouped for debate and voted on as follows: (a) Motion No. 3 will be voted on separately; (b) an affirmative vote on Motion No. 4 obviates the necessity of the question being put on Motion Nos. 5 and 6; (c) on the other hand, a negative vote on Motion No. 4 necessitates the question being put on Motion Nos. 5 and 6; and (d) a vote on Motion No. 5 applies to Motion No. 6.
Motion No. 7 will be debated and voted on separately.
I will now propose Motion No. 1 to the House.
