A video is available from Parliament.

Legislative Clerk
Yes, Madam Chair, there is still a speaking list, so the debate could presumably resume.
4:35 p.m.
Legislative Clerk
I do have the motion written in both languages. We're working on distributing it to the members, so we will distribute it shortly to all the members.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
Thank you very much, Clerk. I will let you carry on with that.
I need to know who, other than Mr. Uppal, is on the list right now.
4:35 p.m.
Legislative Clerk
After Mrs. Thomas, you had Mr. Julian, then Mr. Uppal and then Mr. Perkins.
4:35 p.m.
Legislative Clerk
Mrs. Thomas was interrupted by a point of order, so she is still on the list.

Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the clerk for doing up that motion. That's wonderful.
I would like to move an amendment. I don't know what the motion is, so I'll just take it that after the first word, you scratch off everything—
Actually no, sorry. Perhaps before moving my amendment, the clerk could clarify and read the motion into the record for my reference.
4:35 p.m.
Legislative Clerk
It reads that “That the deadline for amendments on Bill C-11 be at 4 p.m. on Friday, June 3, Eastern Time.”
In French, the motion reads: « Que la date limite pour les amendements de C-11, Loi modifiant la Loi sur la radiodiffusion et apportant des modifications connexes et corrélatives à d'autres lois, soit le vendredi 3 juin 2022, à 16 heures (HE) ».

Mrs. Thomas, please.

Thank you, Chair.
I would move an amendment to that motion. My amendment would be that we delete all words after “That”, and replace them with “amendments be due three days before clause-by-clause begins.”

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
We do not have a deadline for clause-by-clause, Mrs. Thomas. Would you like to clarify your amendment, please?

Rachael Thomas Conservative Lethbridge, AB
I didn't state that there was a deadline. I simply said that amendments are due three days before clause-by-clause begins.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
That is a completely new motion. I can't say that it's an amendment to the current motion on the floor, so I would have to ask for us to continue with the motion on the floor right now before you can bring a new motion.

Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would ask, with all due respect, that you consult with the clerk.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
Yes, I think I know the rules, but go ahead, Clerk. Will you please respond?
Can Mrs. Thomas move a new motion that is completely different from the intent of the current motion on the floor? I am ruling that her motion is out of order—

Excuse me. You know that you should say your name before you request a point of order. I have no idea who is asking for a point of order.
