Natural Resources Committee on Oct. 30th, 2023

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Mr. Genuis, we have a point of order by Mr. Angus.

[Charlie Angus, NDP, Timmins—James Bay, ON]

Thank you.

The chair ruled. I want to know about the speaking order on the amendment. I believe I was up next after Mr. Genuis.

[Rick Perkins, Conservative, South Shore—St. Margarets, NS]

Point of order.

[Charlie Angus, NDP, Timmins—James Bay, ON]

I'm sorry, but you don't get a point of order because you don't sit on the committee.

[Rick Perkins, Conservative, South Shore—St. Margarets, NS]

I don't have to hold off. You can object all you want.

[Charlie Angus, NDP, Timmins—James Bay, ON]

I object to a point of order from someone who is not a voting member.

[Rick Perkins, Conservative, South Shore—St. Margarets, NS]

Order.

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

—and our ability to do our jobs as members of Parliament.

[An hon. member]

Chair, you ruled. She asked for a vote on the—

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

I withdrew.

[An hon. member]

Does he have the floor?

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

And I've never been accused of not being heard.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Order.

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

I'm really short. Sometimes people can't see me, but I've never been told I can't be heard, and I withdrew the challenge.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Order. We are going to suspend.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

We are back in session.

There was a challenge to the chair—

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

I have a point of order, Chair.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

—by Ms. Stubbs.

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

Point of order, Mr. Chair—
