Well, Madam Chair, he didn't move the motion that we just did.
Procedurally, Mr. Coteau shouldn't even have been able to have the floor to speak to his motion because, technically, his motion should have been ruled out of order at the very beginning.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
No, it wouldn't have because we did not have the information on the motion. If you recall, it was archived, and the clerk and the analysts were looking to find out the status of the motion in order to decide if the committee can consider it. It was found that the status of the motion meant that it had to be reconsidered by this committee. That motion was moved by Mr. Coteau because we were starting after suspending, and the committee has agreed they want to consider this motion.
That's a vote. I'm sorry, Mr. Albas.

However, Madam Chair, Mr. Coteau shouldn't have had the floor in the first place because it was not his time to speak during questioning.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
Mr. Coteau had his hand up.
I can recognize you. If you had put your hand up, I would have recognized you.

Dan Albas Conservative Central Okanagan—Similkameen—Nicola, BC
Okay, Madam Chair. I am just pointing out that there seems to be a real lapse of logic here.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
No, I don't think there is.
Let's go ahead.
The motion is on the floor, and it's to be considered.
Mr. Coteau.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I want to thank the member for bringing this motion forward.

Jacques Gourde Conservative Lévis—Lotbinière, QC
I have a point of order, Madam Chair.
Could you allow the witnesses to leave? I believe the meeting will end at 6:30.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
In just a second I will do that.
Yes, Mr. Noormohamed. Do you have a point of order?
Liberal
Taleeb Noormohamed Liberal Vancouver Granville, BC
Yes, it's the same thing as Monsieur Gourde.
If we dispense with this motion quickly and pass it, we can get back to the officials. I don't know.... It depends—
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
I think it's premature. Let's see what we do with this motion. It may be 10 minutes, although I doubt it very much, knowing this committee, but therefore we could go ahead with it.
Mr. Coteau, go ahead.

I have a point of order, Madam Chair.
Just procedurally, I made an amendment, and we obviously sent the text.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
You have to remake it, Niki, because we're now officially considering the motion.

I would like to make that amendment to the motion at this time. It would add—

Just to make sure.... Again, it would adding the following text after the language “the committee” in line 1: “condemn the leader of the official opposition for visiting a convoy camp that celebrated far right extremists and a group whose founder was referred to as violent extremists by Canada's Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre and”.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
Thank you.
We have you speaking to your amendment, Niki, and then I see Mr. Champoux's hand up. Am I seeing other hands up to speak to the amendment when our speaking list—
Conservative
Jacques Gourde Conservative Lévis—Lotbinière, QC
Can we indeed receive the amendment in both official languages?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
Pardon? We have it in both official languages. We're circulating it right now to everyone.
