Accordingly, at 7:24 p.m., the Speaker adjourned the House until tomorrow at 10:00 a.m., pursuant to Standing Order 24(1).

The order was read for the second reading and reference to the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs of Bill C-6, An Act to amend the Citizenship Act (Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada's call to action number 94).

Mr. Mendicino (Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship), seconded by Ms. Ng (Minister of Small Business, Export Promotion and International Trade), moved, — That the bill be now read a second time and referred to the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs.

Debate arose thereon.

Mr. Kent (Thornhill), seconded by Mr. Seeback (Dufferin—Caledon), moved the following amendment, — That the motion be amended by deleting all the words after the word "That" and substituting the following:

“the House decline to give second reading to Bill C-6, An Act to amend the Citizenship Act (Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada's call to action number 94), since the existing Oath of Citizenship already includes the profound promise of citizens to faithfully observe the laws of Canada and the bill does nothing to support real action to address reconciliation with Canada’s First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples”.
