There are 29 motions in amendment on the notice paper in connection with the report stage of Bill C-49.
Motions Nos. 1, 10, 17, 18 and 20 will not be selected by the Chair as they could have been proposed in committee.
Motion No. 21 will not be selected by the Chair as it requires a royal recommendation.
Motions Nos. 3 to 9, 11 to 16, 19 and 23 to 28 will not be selected by the Chair as they are similar or identical to motions defeated in committee.
The remaining motions have been examined and the Chair is satisfied that they meet the guidelines expressed in the note to Standing Order 76.1(5) regarding the selection of motions in amendment at the report stage.
The motions will be grouped for debate as follows:
Group No. 1: Motion No. 2.
Group No. 2: Motion No. 22.
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 shall now propose Motion No. 2 in Group No. 1 to the House.
