Finance Committee on May 29th, 2023

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

Yes.

On a point of order, Chair, I'm just trying to understand which motion we're operating under, because the section of the motion I read out makes no reference to your reading or not reading the question. You've determined that you're not to read the question, which is very odd to me, but I just want to make sure I'm using the correct motion.

[Julie Dzerowicz, Liberal, Davenport, ON]

That's debate, Mr. Chair—

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

Could you send me the motion we're operating under then, Chair? I'm trying to understand where this is in the motion.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

MP Genuis, this is debate. You are getting into something that we were not discussing.

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

No, it's a matter of order, Chair.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

MP Genuis, we are now at clause 7.

Okay, it's clause 7.

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

Shame on you for not reading—

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

Clerk...?

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

—the questions we're voting on.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

We're on clause 7.

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

There's nothing on that in the motion that was adopted.

[Julie Dzerowicz, Liberal, Davenport, ON]

It's clause 7, on division.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

Is that on division?

[Philip Lawrence, Conservative, Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON]

Could we have a recorded vote, please?

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

We will have a recorded vote.

(Clause 7 agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4)

We're on clause 8.

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

Chair, I'd like to move to delete the clause. It's not debate; it's an amendment.

[Julie Dzerowicz, Liberal, Davenport, ON]

It's debate.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

You can't debate.

On clause 8, Clerk, call the vote, please.

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

On a point of order, Chair, it's a deletion amendment.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

There is no debate. We're at clause 8.

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

It's not debate; it's an amendment.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

Clause 8—

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

On a point of order, Chair, amendments are in order.

[Terry Beech, Liberal, Burnaby North—Seymour, BC]

No. No amendments are in order. You might have missed that part of the meeting.

[Julie Dzerowicz, Liberal, Davenport, ON]

There are no amendments. There's nothing other than the vote.
