Accordingly, the Bill was read the second time and referred to the Standing Committee on Health.

Pursuant to Standing Order 45, the House resumed consideration of the motion of Mr. Eggleton (Minister for International Trade), seconded by Mr. Gerrard (Secretary of State (Science, Research and Development)(Western Economic Diversification)), — That Bill C–61, An Act to implement the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement, be now read a third time and do pass.

The House proceeded to the taking of the deferred recorded division on the amendment of Mr. Martin (Esquimalt–Juan de Fuca), seconded by Mr. Breitkreuz (Yorkton–Melville), — That the motion be amended by deleting all the words after the word “That” and substituting the following:

“Bill C–61, An Act to implement the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement, be not now read a third time but be referred back to the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade for the purpose of reconsidering Clause 62, and in particular, to consider substantially changing the implementation date.”

The question was put on the amendment and it was agreed to on the following division:

At 6:59, pursuant to Standing Order 30(7), the House proceeded to the consideration of Private Members’ Business.

The House resumed consideration of the motion of Mr. Gilmour (Comox–Alberni), seconded by Mr. Harris (Prince George–Bulkley Valley), — That, in the opinion of this House, the government should provide a greater measure of protection for individual property rights by amending the Canadian Bill of Rights to read:

“1.
Subject to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society, every person has the right to the enjoyment of that person’s personal and real property and the right not to be deprived thereof unless the person
(a)
is accorded a fair hearing in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice, and
(b)
is paid fair compensation in respect of the property, and the amount of that compensation is fixed impartially, and is paid within a reasonable amount of time after the person is deprived of their property.
  2.
Any person whose rights, as set out in section 1, have been infringed or denied may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain such remedy as the court considers appropriate and just in the circumstances.” (Private Members’ Business M–205)
