Government Operations committee  Then you would have to change the word “jobs” in Mr. Proulx's. Do you understand?

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  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  I declare Ms. Marleau elected chair of this committee.
