Canadian Heritage Committee on Feb. 27th, 2024

[Martin Champoux, Bloc, Drummond, QC]

Madam Chair, I would like to speak very briefly, since we've touched on the issue of hockey. I know of a town where it wouldn't be at all difficult to fill the arena at every game. I would therefore like to take this opportunity to point out that we want the Nordiques to return to Quebec City.

[Voices]

Oh, oh!

[The Chair, Liberal, Hedy Fry]

I'll say Vancouver and the Canucks.

All right. Seeing no other discussion, I'm going to ask the clerk to call the vote.

(Motion negatived: nays 7; yeas 4)

The motion is defeated. Thank you.

We have asked the people who were going to talk to us about trauma-informed practices to leave.

Ms. Thomas—

I'm sorry, Mr. Noormohamed. Your hand was up first. Go ahead.

[Taleeb Noormohamed, Liberal, Vancouver Granville, BC]

Thank you, Madam Chair.

As you rightly point out, today was supposed to be a day when we would hear from folks who were going to help us understand how to deal with victims and to have trauma-informed conversations. Instead, we've entertained frivolous motions on the carbon tax.

Given that we've wasted all of their time and that they're now gone, I'd like to move that we adjourn this meeting.

[The Chair, Liberal, Hedy Fry]

Thank you.

I'm going to call the vote on adjournment. Is anybody opposed to adjourning?

Ms. Thomas, go ahead.

[Rachael Thomas, Conservative, Lethbridge, AB]

I'm opposed. We still have 10 more minutes, and we....

[The Chair, Liberal, Hedy Fry]

It's not debatable, Ms. Thomas. The motion is to adjourn the meeting. Thank you.

There's just one person—

[Rachael Thomas, Conservative, Lethbridge, AB]

Take a vote. I'll ask for a roll call vote.

[The Chair, Liberal, Hedy Fry]

Geneviève, can you do a roll call vote on adjourning the meeting, please?

(Motion agreed to: yeas 6; nays 5)

[The Chair, Liberal, Hedy Fry]

The meeting is adjourned.
