Law Clerk Ms. Macpherson

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. For the assistance of Members, when we last dealt with Bill 5 we amended clause 2 and defeated those portions of clause 2 that are in subsections 3 to 7. If Members wish, they can strike out those clauses in their bill. Subsection 6(2) remains. Those were the only changes which were made during our last consideration of this bill, Mr. Chairman.

Jeannie Marie-Jewell Thebacha

Mr. Chairman, I was out of the room when you addressed Bill 5, An Act to Amend the Social Assistance Act. I made a motion to split a clause in that particular bill. Is that motion still in effect? The other clauses were in addition to the splitting of that particular clause. Is that correct?

Law Clerk Ms. Macpherson

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. During our last consideration of Bill 5, we had already dealt with Ms. Marie-Jewell's motion and subsequent vote on the motion and on the clause itself, which was affected by the motion. So that matter had been dealt with during our last consideration of this bill. As Members may recall, Mr. Nerysoo then raised a point of order with respect to the effect of the motion and the subsequent vote, and the point of order was addressed yesterday. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
