Information & Ethics committee  Yes. I will distribute it in a second.

Information & Ethics committee  I sent it.

Information & Ethics committee  Give me a second.

Information & Ethics committee  Just give me a second. Sorry about that. The amendment from Mr. Villemure would be.... Okay, this is different from the other version I got.

Information & Ethics committee  Yes, I submitted it to translation.

Information & Ethics committee  The vote is on Mr. Villemure's amendment to the motion that was moved by Mr. Chong in February.

Information & Ethics committee  (Amendment agreed to: yeas 6; nays 5])

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the first vice-chair must be a member of the government party for this committee. I am ready to receive the motions.
