Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Clarke, ON

I challenge the chair, because I believe this Liberal government should get rid of the entire carbon tax.

The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke

Thank you very much, Mr. Lawrence.

Mr. Lawrence has challenged the chair, so we will be voting to sustain the ruling of the chair.

If you vote yes, you are sustaining the ruling of the chair. If you vote no, you are voting against the ruling of the chair.

Shall the ruling of the chair be sustained?

(Ruling of the chair sustained)

We're now on BQ-42, colleagues.

(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Colleagues, we're now at the end.

Shall schedule 1 carry, as amended?

(Schedule 1 as amended agreed to)

Shall the short title carry?

Some hon. members

Agreed.

The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke

Shall the title carry?

Some hon. members

Agreed.

The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke

Shall the bill as amended carry?

Some hon. members

Agreed.

The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke

Shall the chair report the bill as amended to the House?

Some hon. members

Agreed.

The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke

Shall the committee order a reprint of the bill as amended for the use of the House at report stage?

Some hon. members

Agreed.

The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke

We have one who is very against that happening.

Colleagues, I'm going to confer with the clerks to make sure that we've dotted all of our i's and crossed our t's here.

Nobody leave yet. I have two housekeeping things, please, colleagues, if you'll indulge me.

The first one, colleagues, is that I need all members to vote to adopt the budget for this study, which was circulated.

All those in favour of the budget that was circulated for the Bill C-5 study?

12:15 a.m.

Conservative

Dan Albas Conservative Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna, BC

I have to say, Mr. Chair, I've made many interventions in the House, and this isn't the budget I was looking for.

The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke

Thank you, Mr. Albas. That's duly noted.

All those in favour, please raise your hand.

(Motion agreed to)

The next one's quite important, and it's just a housekeeping thing. I need to read it out to make sure that we get everything in order here.

The four motions moved by Mr. Muys and adopted by the committee on Monday, June 16, specify that four reports and all appended supplementary and dissenting opinions to those reports from the 44th Parliament, first session, be readopted by the committee. Three of the four reports in question contain supplementary opinions submitted by the NDP. These three reports are “Towards Accessible Air Transportation in Canada”, “Issues and Opportunities: High Frequency Rail in the Toronto to Quebec City Corridor” and “The Role of McKinsey & Company in the Creation and the Beginnings of the Canada Infrastructure Bank”.

I understand that there is an agreement of the committee to rescind the three motions adopted by the committee on Monday, June 16, about the three reports containing supplementary opinions submitted by the NDP.

Is there unanimous consent to rescind these three motions?

Some hon. members

Agreed.

The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke

I understand that there's also agreement of the committee to readopt the three aforementioned reports, including only the supplementary and dissenting opinions submitted in the 44th Parliament, first session, from those parties that are recognized parties in the current session.

Is there unanimous consent to readopt the three reports without the supplementary opinions submitted by the NDP?

Some hon. members

Agreed.

The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke

Thank you very much, colleagues.

I just want to add a special thanks to the clerks, the support team, the translation team we have in the corner there, and, of course, our wonderful support staff who support us into the wee hours of the morning.

Thank you all very much, colleagues. I think we did good work today.

This meeting is adjourned.
