Public Safety committee  I'd like to add something, if I may. There are two issues. One is the royal recommendation, per se. We looked at it as a team, and we felt it would require royal recommendation. The other problem is that it's an “S” bill, coming from the Senate. The Senate cannot spend any pub

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  The Law Clerk's office can probably do that if you forward a request. It has to be very minor.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That Bill C-23 be amended in clause 48 by adding after section 143.3(b) the following: “3.1 No one may be prosecuted for any offence under this Act on the sole basis of not having complied with section 143.3 (b)(ii).”

Natural Resources committee  I'll provide some information, if I may. What you're stating is exactly right in the case of a regular bill. If it were clause 2, let's say, of a regular bill amending an act, then that would be the case. Here, however, clause 120 of this bill is a new act. It's considered a

Health committee  Okay, that's fine. Would you be able to tell me where it is in the bill, because...?

Health committee  Yes, that's fine.

Health committee  If you know ahead of time that you may have a subamendment, it would be a good thing to move it at the same time you move your amendment, all at once, and then—

Health committee  But when you move your amendment, let's say NDP-2, and you know you want to add “the seller or”, you can move it at that time. When you say, “I want to move my NDP amendment, but I want to change the wording”, you can move it at that point, and we'll consider it a package, if you

Health committee  There is really no such thing as a friendly amendment.

Health committee  It's a fiction, but that's the way it goes. You propose something that's really an amendment. If it's a friendly amendment, everybody would be agreed.
