Agriculture committee  I spoke too quickly. It would still be possible to consider amendment LIB-2, but only the “(b)” part, because the “(a)” part would already be adopted through amendment CPC-1. They are identical. You would have to move it without the “(a)” part.

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. First, you would need to move your amendment without paragraph (a), because that was just adopted. On paragraph (b), the sunset clause that is provided here is only for proposed subsection 1(2.1). It would provide for an eight-year sunset clause. Turning

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. There's no need for a motion. Amendment CPC-1 is already on the table.

Agriculture committee  Yes, you can vote on the one.

Agriculture committee  I was going to add a layer of complexity to the discussion, but I won't. Unanimous consent can solve a number of problems. That's one of them that I could maybe suggest. If you ask for unanimous consent to do it that way. You may get it, or not, and then I'll add my layer of com

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, that was the second layer of complexity. Indeed, if CPC-1 is adopted, we would move to LIB-2 because it's in the order of the bill, and if Mr. Turnbull were to move LIB-2—without the first part of it, because that's been dealt with already—we would dea

Agriculture committee  It needs unanimous consent.

Agriculture committee  No, it's not impossible. To do so, however, CPC‑1 and CPC‑2 would have to be separated, which could raise the risk, if any, I mentioned earlier.

Agriculture committee  If the will of the committee is to separate the two amendments, then yes, it would be possible to amend CPC-2 later on when it is called. Otherwise, it would not be possible, because they go together. It's the will of the committee that matters here. It may be that the will of t

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm going to do it in English, and I will redo it in French afterwards. CPC-1 and CPC-2 go together. Proposing an amendment to CPC-2 at this time is not possible. CPC-2 is open for discussion, but it's not open to be voted on. The problem is if you want to

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Perron, to get around the problem you seem to have, the solution could be to adopt CPC‑1 and CPC‑2 now and, at report stage, to propose an amendment that would amend CPC‑2 as you suggest.

Agriculture committee  Yes, indeed.

Agriculture committee  Yes. If amendment CPC-1 is adopted, amendment LIB-2 cannot be moved because it covers the same thing a bit differently.

Agriculture committee  The two amendments provide for a sunset clause. There is no expansion provided anywhere.

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Perron, Mr. MacGregor just explained it exactly as I would have, so I'll repeat it. Let's take CPC‑1, which would add subsection (1.1) to the bill in order to repeal paragraph (b.1) of the definition of “eligible farming machinery” in section 3 of the
