Public Safety Committee on May 23rd, 2024

[Jennifer O'Connell, Liberal, Pickering—Uxbridge, ON]

Yes, actually I was.

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

You said “point of order”, but you weren't recognized.

[Jennifer O'Connell, Liberal, Pickering—Uxbridge, ON]

You're not the chair of this committee, so I suggest you turn your mic off.

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

You're not either, Ms. O'Connell.

[The Chair, Liberal, Heath MacDonald]

Excuse me. Maybe I should repeat the introduction on the interpreters.

It's Ms. O'Connell first, and then Mr. Genuis, please—one at a time. You'll get your point.

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

It's a dilatory motion, Chair. There's nothing to debate.

[The Chair, Liberal, Heath MacDonald]

Go ahead, Ms. O'Connell.

[Jennifer O'Connell, Liberal, Pickering—Uxbridge, ON]

Chair, I said what I had to say. We can deal with the amendment and vote on it, vote on the subcommittee report and get to the ministers who are here and prepared to testify.

[The Chair, Liberal, Heath MacDonald]

We're going to go to a vote.

All those in favour?

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

I'm sorry, but I have a point of order, Chair. We're voting on the dilatory resumption motion. Is that correct?

[The Chair, Liberal, Heath MacDonald]

We're voting on the amended motion.

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

No, we're not. She moved a motion to resume....

Please just pause and consult with the clerk.

Here's how the rules work. If you move a resumption motion, then you vote on the resumption motion.

[The Chair, Liberal, Heath MacDonald]

Can we get back to the meeting, please? Thank you to the clerk.

There is a motion to resume debate. We're going to proceed with a vote, and that's where we are.

[Jennifer O'Connell, Liberal, Pickering—Uxbridge, ON]

I'm resuming the debate.

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

On a point of order, it's a dilatory motion to resume the debate.

[The Chair, Liberal, Heath MacDonald]

Is there going to be a vote?

[Jennifer O'Connell, Liberal, Pickering—Uxbridge, ON]

Yes.

[The Chair, Liberal, Heath MacDonald]

All in favour?

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

I'd like a recorded vote.

[The Chair, Liberal, Heath MacDonald]

We'll have a recorded vote.

(Motion agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4)

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

On a point of order, Chair, could you share the speaking list on the motion? If we're resuming, presumably we're restoring the old speaking list. Could you share what that is?

[The Clerk of the Committee, Mr. Simon Larouche]

What I had was Mr. Shipley and Mr. Motz.

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

Just to clarify, I had the floor.

[The Clerk]

It's what I had from my list.

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

Mr. Clerk, could you clarify? I had the floor when we adjourned.
