Fisheries committee  Thank you. This is on the motion of Mr. Hardie—

Fisheries committee  Oh, I'm sorry. Yes. Thank you. This is on the motion of Mr. Perkins. I correct the record.

Fisheries committee  Yes. It's on the motion of Mr. Perkins.

Fisheries committee  Thank you. The question is on Mr. Hardie's amendment. (Amendment negatived: nays 6; yeas 5)

Fisheries committee  I can confirm that, yes, the committee can study this matter for sure, but when we present reports and the Speaker finds that we're reporting on a subject that goes outside the mandate of the committee, it could be indeed ruled out of order. We rely on our analysts. I see Thai and Michael with us today.

Fisheries committee  On the amendment of Mr. Hardie, it is agreed to. (Amendment agreed to: yeas 7, nays 4 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Fisheries committee  I just—

Fisheries committee  Mr. Chair, if this is regarding the motion of Mr. Perkins that's just been moved, I would recommend that they can be done together in one motion. However, it is recommended that they be separated into two separate motions, because they do refer to two separate studies, and it would be clearer in this way.

Fisheries committee  A separate vote...? I'm not sure I understand the question. The current motion that's before the committee, as it's been read into the record, has both together. I'm sorry; could I speak with you for just one moment?

Fisheries committee  As long as the committee agrees to adopt it as it has been proposed, that's fine as well.

Fisheries committee  I would just remind you, Mr. Chair, that pursuant to the House order of November 25, all votes in committees must be decided on unanimously or carried on division or by recorded vote.

Fisheries committee  Yes. We're looking at it right now here in the room. Mr. McLeod, you're going to get a phone call.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. After speaking with the ambassadors here in the room—this may be more specifically for Mr. McLeod, but it can apply to everyone else—at the bottom of your screen where you see the option “Interpretation”, if you select to mute the original audio, that will cut out the additional sound.

Fisheries committee  Thank you. This vote is on the motion by Mr. Arnold. Mr. Chair, the vote is as follows: yeas 5; nays 5.

Fisheries committee  Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair. The main motion is as follows: That the committee commit to a short study focusing on the risks flood control/mitigation systems along the lower Fraser River pose to wild salmon runs and the opportunity to address those risks as we recover from the floods and rebuild the flood control infrastructure.
