I have a point of order.

9:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

What's your point of order?

9:05 p.m.

Conservative

Ed Fast Conservative Abbotsford, BC

My point of order, Madam Chair, is that you are now running roughshod over the committee.

9:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

No.

Ed—

9:05 p.m.

Conservative

Ed Fast Conservative Abbotsford, BC

It's probably not you. It's people above you that are telling you to do this.

9:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Ed, on a point of order, I'm not forced at all.

9:05 p.m.

Conservative

Ed Fast Conservative Abbotsford, BC

It's very unfortunate that this would happen—

9:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Ed, we had a motion done in March—

9:05 p.m.

Conservative

Ed Fast Conservative Abbotsford, BC

Yes, it was rammed through by those individuals over there.

9:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

—that has been on the table, that set today.... We're going to go.

We're on amendment CPC-17.

(Amendment negatived: nays 5; yeas 4 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

9:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Ms. May, there's no discussion. It's just on the table and we're voting.

9:05 p.m.

Green

Elizabeth May Green Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC

Very briefly, I need to say this and I'm leaving—10 seconds. This committee passed a motion that says—

9:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Elizabeth, the motion has passed.

9:05 p.m.

Green

Elizabeth May Green Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC

No, the motion that you passed said I would get a chance to speak to each of my amendments. I'm leaving now, because that's not happening, but under the motion by which I am here, there is an affirmative duty on the committee to give me a chance to speak to each of my amendments.

I recognize that is not happening. There's a conflict between the motions you passed, and you have further eroded my rights.

I don't take it personally, but it needed to be said for the record.

9:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Thank you, Elizabeth.
