The schedule to the national anthem was voted on by this committee....
I will go to clause 1 which says:
The schedule to the National Anthem Act is replaced by the schedule set out in the schedule to this Act.

Madam Chair, just on my point, which has nothing to do with the one you were talking about, Madam Chair—

—I have never seen a committee.... I've been on many committees over the years. I am vice-chair of this committee, and your ruling in regard to what I was talking about in having 20 minutes of questions left for the witness who came....
Madam Chair, when a time frame is set out for an hour of questions in a committee like that, I have never seen it cut off at two rounds.

Most of them go to three and four, if there are no other questions. I just want it on the record to make sure we know that we still had more questions. Obviously, we didn't even get an answer to the one that was asked—

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
Order.
Mr. Maguire, you've put forward a question to the chair, and I am responding once again, as I am going to be responding for the third time.
We went into the second round. In the first round, no Liberal wanted to ask a question. The NDP did not wish to ask a question. We went into the second round, which is normally a five-minute round. I allowed that second round to be a seven-minute round. The first order was the Conservatives. You got seven minutes and thirty seconds.
When we moved to the next Liberal, that Liberal used his time to place a motion on the floor. We dealt with the motion. The motion was duly voted on. The New Democratic Party member, who should have been the next after the Liberal, said that he did not have a question.
Therefore, we are now moving to the orders of the day, which is a motion that was duly passed by the majority of this committee to move to clause-by-clause consideration. Now I will do so.
