There are 14 motions in amendment standing on the notice paper relating to the report stage of Bill C-8.
The Standing Committee on Finance considered this bill at clause by clause on March 20, before my statement outlining the guidelines for the selection of motions at report stage.
Since hon. members could not be aware at that time of the new way to implement those principles, the Chair will once again be generous and select motions which could have been proposed in committee but were not.
May I remind all hon. members to use committee stage to propose their amendments. If hon. members do not avail themselves of this opportunity, the Chair will not select motions which could have been proposed in committee at report stage.
The motions will be grouped for debate as follows.
Group No. 1: Motions Nos. 1, 8, 12 and 13.
Group No. 2: Motions No. 2, 9 to 11 and 14.
Group No. 3: Motions Nos. 3 to 7.
The voting patterns for the motions within each group are available at the table. The Chair will remind the House of each pattern at the time of voting.
I will now put Motions Nos. 1, 8, 12 and 13 to the House.
