Therefore, honourable senators, in amendment, I move:

That the motion be not now adopted, but that it be amended to authorize the Standing Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry, without limiting the committee’s right to invite other witnesses as it may decide, to invite the following witnesses:

1.Dairy Farmers of Canada;

2.Grain Growers of Canada;

3.National Miller’s Association;

4.The Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, P.C., M.P., Minister of Health; and

5.The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, P.C., M.P., Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food.

In amendment, it was moved by the Honourable Senator Carignan, seconded by the Honourable Senator Seidman . . .

Are honourable senators ready for the question?

Is it your pleasure, honourable senators, to adopt the motion?

All those in favour of the motion will please say “yea.”

All those opposed to the motion will please say “nay.”

In my opinion, the “nays” have it.

I see two senators having risen. Do we have agreement on the bell?
