Senator Arnot, you had an amendment on page 2, clause 4?

Thank you, Senator Arnot. Are there any questions on that?

Senator Arnot, I was wondering if you would consider splitting this in terms of asking the question and the debate. “31.5 Every person has a duty” — and then splitting out section 3. Respectfully, I can support part of it. I can’t support all of it.

Okay. In this motion, then, there are three parts?

Right. I have got so many pieces of paper over here.

So you don’t like (a), which would include 35.1, but you are okay with (2)(b) — “the superintendent shall”?

I’m just asking if you would consider splitting the votes out.

The chair will have to manage that.

I’ll amend this by taking out paragraph (a).

Thank you.

Again, for the benefit of the committee, Senator McCallum and I have had conversations around this. As I said, my amendment agrees with you on your first two points. I guess I am asking if you would either amend your own motion and take that last part out about the tilts, or if you would, as I asked Senator Arnot, split it out. If you want to vote on the tilt piece, would you split out the portion about existing cabins, which I will wholeheartedly support, and then ask a separate question on the establishment of tilts if you want to continue to have that in there?

I’ll also let the committee know, depending upon how these votes go, that I would add a definition after, as a different motion, for existing cabins, because I think it’s important to have a definition in there.

Senator McCallum, I’m not sure how you feel about that.

Is there a subamendment? For the subamendment, are you are keeping (b) and (c) but not (a)?
