10:15 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

We're on CPC-39.

(Amendment negatived: nays 6; yeas 4 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

We're moving on to CPC-40.

10:15 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

I move that, notwithstanding the motion that passed earlier, the mover of this amendment be given 30 seconds to explain the motion.

10:15 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Garnett, I'm not entertaining any more motions from the floor, so let's just move on to what we're in the process of doing here. We agreed to no more motions. All right?

We're moving on to CPC-40.

10:15 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

I'd like to challenge that, then, because it's not consistent. We either allow motions after nine o'clock or we don't. You allowed a unanimous consent motion before, so I'm going to challenge the chair on that.

10:15 p.m.

Conservative

Ed Fast Conservative Abbotsford, BC

Who's the guy walking behind you there, back and forth, passing messages? Is that Gerald Butts?

10:15 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

For consistency—because it is about consistency—I do believe that we move that unanimous...after nine o'clock. If you want to spend the night continuously bringing forward and slowing the work down, then we will just ask for unanimous and if you don't get it, you don't get it.

10:15 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

Thank you, Madam Chair.

10:15 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

It's not to do the motion, but to move a motion. Do you have unanimous consent to move a motion? No. Thank you very much.

Moving on, we've got CPC-40.

(Amendment negatived: nays 6; yeas 4 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

We're now on to CPC-41.

10:20 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

I have a point of order, Madam Chair.

I'm seeking unanimous consent of the committee for the following motion, that notwithstanding the motion that passed earlier, the mover of this amendment be given 60 seconds to explain the motion.

10:20 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

No. You didn't get unanimous consent. Thank you, Garnett.

We are on CPC-41.

The unanimous consent he was asking for was to move a motion, and the answer was no. We're moving on to CPC-41.

10:20 p.m.

Conservative

Ed Fast Conservative Abbotsford, BC

Who said?

10:20 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

I heard “no” from over here.

10:20 p.m.

Conservative

Ed Fast Conservative Abbotsford, BC

Can't we have a vote on it?

10:20 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

No. The vote was unanimous. Can I move a motion? No.

We're on CPC-41.

10:20 p.m.

Liberal

William Amos Liberal Pontiac, QC

I would like a recorded vote.

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

10:20 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

CPC-42 was dealt with under CPC-10, and so now we're on LIB-109.

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

We're on LIB-110.

10:20 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

I have a point of order.

10:20 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Garnett, what's your point of order?

10:20 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

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

10:20 p.m.

Liberal

William Amos Liberal Pontiac, QC

No.

10:20 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

“That notwithstanding the motion”—

10:20 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Garnett, you just asked if you could have unanimous consent to move a motion and the answer is no, so it's done.

10:20 p.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

No, I asked for unanimous consent “for the following motion”. I didn't read the motion.

10:20 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Yes, but it's a no.

10:20 p.m.

Conservative

Ed Fast Conservative Abbotsford, BC

You have to let him read the motion.
