Justice committee  I'm Émilie Thivierge, the legislative clerk assigned to Bill C-5. My role is to provide you and the chair of the committee with some advice on the admissibility of amendments for the clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-5. If you have any questions on the admissibility of a

Justice committee  Yes. It's just that, before going to clause 1, we should mention that the preamble will be postponed.

Justice committee  Yes, that's correct. The preamble can be amended at the end if there are substantive amendments to the bill.

Justice committee  The summary can't be amended.

Justice committee  We should go to Mr. Fortin's amendment, but if I'm correct, I think Mr. Maloney had some amendments that would go there as well, before PV-2.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  BQ-1 and BQ-2 as well as the two amendments from the NDP are seeking to amend the same line. Even though there are no numbered lines in the schedule, there are still lines, so the same rule applies as in any clause in the bill. That's why if one amendment is adopted, the other on

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  In the bill, on page 1, we have two clauses. There's the preamble. Pursuant to Standing Order 75(1), consideration of the preamble is always postponed.

I have the impression that your subamendment is related to the following NDP amendment. I followed what you said, and it's not consisten

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Ms. Normandin, would it be possible to read the oath in its entirety with your subamendment, since we do not have it in writing? I think it would be clearer.

Human Resources committee  No, you don't. The bill was not amended.

Environment committee  Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair. The way we see it is that Bill C-204 is prohibiting the export of certain types of plastic waste to foreign countries for final disposal, and NDP-1 also seeks to prohibit the exportation of plastic waste, so that's why we believe it's receivable.

Environment committee  Mr. Chair, it's the bill as amended.

Environment committee  I'm not sure I can be of much help. It would probably need a legislative counsel to explain it.

Environment committee  In the Interpretation Act, section 13, which deals with preambles, reads as follows: “Le préambule fait partie du texte et en constitue l'exposé des motifs.” In English, it reads: “The preamble of an enactment shall be read as a part of the enactment intended to assist in expla
