For the benefit of the House, I will reread the proposed amendment.
That the motion be amended by deleting all the words after the word “That” and substituting the following:
Bill C-4, An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code, the Parliamentary Employment and Staff Relations Act, the Public Service Labour Relations Act and the Income Tax Act, be not now read a third time, but be referred back to the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities for the purpose of reconsidering clauses 5 to 11 with a view to preserving provisions of the existing law which stipulate that the certification and decertification of a bargaining agent must be achieved by a secret ballot vote-based majority.
It being 1:30 p.m., the House will now proceed to the consideration of private members' business as listed on today's Order Paper.
