Canadian Heritage Committee on May 9th, 2024

[Kevin Waugh, Conservative, Saskatoon—Grasswood, SK]

I'm interrupting, Madam Chair, because—

[Michael Coteau, Liberal, Don Valley East, ON]

It's not a point of order.

[Rachael Thomas, Conservative, Lethbridge, AB]

You never let us interrupt on a point of order.

[Kevin Waugh, Conservative, Saskatoon—Grasswood, SK]

—I am just pointing out that if he is going to take a shot at—

[The Chair, Liberal, Hedy Fry]

Mrs. Thomas, please—

[Rachael Thomas, Conservative, Lethbridge, AB]

Yes, please—

[The Chair, Liberal, Hedy Fry]

Go ahead, Mr. Waugh.

[Michael Coteau, Liberal, Don Valley East, ON]

If he wants to speak, put his name on the list.

[Kevin Waugh, Conservative, Saskatoon—Grasswood, SK]

Madam Chair, I was just pointing out that he is taking shot at my leader. I can take a shot at his leader about blackface.

[Michael Coteau, Liberal, Don Valley East, ON]

Put your name on the list, Mr. Waugh.

[The Chair, Liberal, Hedy Fry]

Thank you, Mr. Waugh. That was not a point of order.

[Rachael Thomas, Conservative, Lethbridge, AB]

I have a point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, Hedy Fry]

Mr. Coteau is bringing up his arguments for the motion, and he is allowed to do that. I heard arguments today for a whole lot of things that I think strayed away from the motion itself.

Thank you for speaking up, but I don't consider that to be a point of order.

Go ahead, Mr. Coteau.

[Michael Coteau, Liberal, Don Valley East, ON]

Thank you, Madam Chair.

[Rachael Thomas, Conservative, Lethbridge, AB]

Madam Chair, I have a point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, Hedy Fry]

Mrs. Thomas, go ahead on your point of order.

[Rachael Thomas, Conservative, Lethbridge, AB]

Thank you.

Mr. Coteau just accused my colleague, Mr. Waugh, of being an example of far right extremism when Mr. Waugh called a point of order.

[Michael Coteau, Liberal, Don Valley East, ON]

I never said that. I said that it was a perfect example—

[Rachael Thomas, Conservative, Lethbridge, AB]

Madam Chair, I would invite you to make a ruling on that because that is—

[Michael Coteau, Liberal, Don Valley East, ON]

Hold on.

[Rachael Thomas, Conservative, Lethbridge, AB]

Madam Chair, why are you allowing the member to speak over me right now when I have the floor, granted by you?

[Michael Coteau, Liberal, Don Valley East, ON]

You just made a pretty serious accusation, and Mr. Waugh knows the difference of what I just said.

[The Chair, Liberal, Hedy Fry]

I was just about to press the button to speak to exactly that, Mrs. Thomas. You presume to know what goes on in my head and in everybody's head.

[Rachael Thomas, Conservative, Lethbridge, AB]

Madam Chair, I am simply asking you to bring this committee to order.

I held the floor—

[The Chair, Liberal, Hedy Fry]

I am about to do that if you would allow me.
