Peter MacKay on Supplementary Estimates (A)

Mr. Speaker, in regard to the two objections that I filed on Tuesday to the government's supplementary estimates asking Parliament to authorize a further expenditure of approximately $72 million for the firearms registry, as it pertains to the vote tonight, I wish to advise that there have been consultations among parties and I believe you may find unanimous consent for the following motion. I move, seconded by the member for Yorkton--Melville: That the Supplementary Estimates (A) be amended by reducing vote 1a under Justice by the amount of $6,872,000, for the Canadian firearms program, and vote 5a under Justice by the amount of $9,110,000, for the Canadian Firearms Centre, and that the supply motion in the bill to be based thereupon altered accordingly.
