Government Operations committee  We will now proceed to the election of the two vice-chairs. The first vice-chair is to be a member of the governing party. Are there any nominations to that effect?

Government Operations committee  It has been moved by Mr. Wallace that Mr. Daryl Kramp be elected as vice-chair. Are there any other motions? (Motion agreed to) I declare Mr. Kramp elected as vice-chair of the committee.

Government Operations committee  We can now move to the election of the second vice-chair.

Government Operations committee  Ms. Thibault nominates Ms. Nash as second vice-chair of the committee. (Motion agreed to)

Government Operations committee  I declare Ms. Nash elected vice-chair of the committee. I would now invite Ms. Marleau to take the chair.

Government Operations committee  You are voting on Mr. Proulx's amendment. You already have a copy of it. Can I dispense?

Government Operations committee  Yeas, five; nays, six.

Government Operations committee  That's right.

Government Operations committee  That's right.

Government Operations committee  It was adopted already.

Government Operations committee  You are now voting on the main motion, as amended. You all have a copy. (The motion is negatived unanimously)

Government Operations committee  When an amendment is proposed, you have to deal with the amendment. You can't deal with something else before that is done.

Government Operations committee  It's the very same as in the House, if you want to reconsider the first amended motion.

Government Operations committee  No. You would need unanimous consent. But that's done with; it's over. So now it's the other amendment.

Government Operations committee  Mr. Proulx's amendment says that following the word “commitment” in Madame Thibault's motion, we add all this.
