Where are the officials?

10:05 p.m.

An hon. member

I'd like to seek the analysts' consent—

10:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Moving on to LIB-108. This one also came in on May 1.

(Amendment agreed to: yeas 5; nays 3 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Amendments CPC-29 and CPC-30 are the ones that had a lot involved in them. They were dealt with under CPC-10, so we're now moving to PV-124.

(Amendment negatived: nays 8; yeas 1 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Amendments CPC-31, CPC-32, CPC-33, and CPC-34 were also dealt with under CPC-10. Now we're on CPC-35.

(Amendment negatived: nays 6; yeas 3 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

We're now on CPC-36.

(Amendment negatived: nays 6; yeas 3 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

We're on CPC-37.

(Amendment negatived: nays 6; yeas 3 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

We are now moving to CPC-38, again from Mrs. Stubbs.

(Amendment negatived: nays 6; yeas 3 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

We're moving on to CPC-39. Again, it's from Mrs. Stubbs.

Do you have a point of order?

10:10 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

I'd like to seek unanimous consent for the following motion.

I move that, notwithstanding the motion passed earlier—

10:10 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

No. We've already been through—no motions can be answered on the floor—

10:10 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

But it's a unanimous consent motion, Madam Chair.

10:10 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

We went through this already. You can't move a motion—

10:10 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

Actually, after nine o'clock, we passed a unanimous consent motion on recorded votes, so we've done it before. After nine o'clock, we passed a unanimous consent motion permitting—

10:10 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

No, not on a motion to bring forward a motion. It's not going to be allowed.

10:10 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

I guess what I'm wondering is if unanimous consent were given—

10:10 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

On a motion, it's a different issue. We did unanimous consent on a way to vote, not on bringing forward a new motion, so thank you—

10:10 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

Right, but anything you do has to be done by a motion, so if it was done after nine o'clock, even if it was a procedural issue, it was still a motion. The motion I'm seeking unanimous consent on is also a procedural issue.

10:10 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

I'm not allowing a motion. We've already been through this, and we're not doing it again. Okay? We're moving on.

10:10 p.m.

Liberal

William Amos Liberal Pontiac, QC

Madam Chair, this is out of order. He does not have unanimous consent. Please move to the next vote.

10:10 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

I understand. I'm pushing that point. I will cut the microphone off in a minute because we're going to go—

10:10 p.m.

Liberal

William Amos Liberal Pontiac, QC

Listening is not part of this exercise here.

10:10 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

I know. Let's keep going.

Garnett, we're not entertaining any motions. All right?

10:10 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

Then the unanimous consent motion that passed earlier was not valid. I'm just looking for a consistent standard here. After nine o'clock, either you allow unanimous consent motions or you don't, because you already did allow one unanimous consent motion after nine o'clock, which was on the process by which we conduct votes.

10:10 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Are you bringing forward some sort of process motion here?

10:15 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

Yes. I'd like to seek unanimous consent for the following motion.

I move that, notwithstanding the motion that passed earlier, the mover of this amendment be given 60 seconds to explain the motion.

I'm seeking unanimous consent for that motion.

10:15 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

No, there is no consent. Thank you.

10:15 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

Okay.
