Agriculture committee  Then we'll vote a second time.

Agriculture committee  I'm fine with the amendment.

Agriculture committee  Yes, I'm fine with Alistair's amendment. Let's approve Alistair's amendment that the report comes back here before going to the House.

Agriculture committee  I feel I should comment, since this is something that I raised. This is a result of information and personal anecdotes we've been sharing with the clerk throughout this entire process. I wasn't doing this to make this a fishing expedition for other issues. I've been here for a l

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. With the committee's indulgence—and I have spoken to the clerk about this—this bill was something I have never before experienced at this committee. Perhaps it's happened at other committees. I don't mean this about the members of this committee. I think

Agriculture committee  It's Mr. Steinley.

Agriculture committee  Thanks. Because that declaration clause was removed, we just want to make sure that there is no false or misleading information, so “It is prohibited for a person to provide false or misleading” information or make a false or misleading statement in “respect of any [other] matt

Does any liabili

Agriculture committee  Chair, I just want to make sure I'm clear on this. Mr. Louis, the concern that folks raised on this additional step was that there would have to be a declaration to the minister. In my opinion, you're making this more vague rather than more specific. I would have preferred that

Agriculture committee  I have a procedural question. I'm looking at Monsieur Perron's amendments, BQ-4 and BQ-5, which also make some changes in terms of adding to the scope of the bill with regard to feeding and watering horses during transportation as well as having an attendant on the flight.

Agriculture committee  I appreciate your diligence, Mr. Chair, but I still want to challenge your decision on this, just as a matter of principle. Clearly the witnesses who were brought forward by the proponent of this legislation were very adamant that this was not about the end use of the horses b

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. We do have an amendment on clause 4. I think everybody has the amendment in front of them. It was quite clear from the testimony of most of the witnesses who spoke as part of the study for this proposed legislation that the end use of the animals going to
