Environment Committee on Nov. 21st, 2023

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

Okay.

[Dan Mazier, Conservative, Dauphin—Swan River—Neepawa, MB]

Do we have to have a vote on it?

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

Yes, I guess we do.

[Adam van Koeverden, Liberal, Milton, ON]

I turned on my mike, Dan. You heard. I turned on my mike.

[Dan Mazier, Conservative, Dauphin—Swan River—Neepawa, MB]

I'm challenging the chair on the speaking order.

[Adam van Koeverden, Liberal, Milton, ON]

Go for it. Vote on it. You know you're wrong. Go for it.

[Dan Mazier, Conservative, Dauphin—Swan River—Neepawa, MB]

Challenging the chair on the speaking order is well within my rights.

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

Wait just a second.

[Dan Mazier, Conservative, Dauphin—Swan River—Neepawa, MB]

The speaking order is...?

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

Mr. Mazier has a right to challenge the chair on the speaking order.

[Taylor Bachrach, NDP, Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC]

Can I ask a clarifying question, Mr. Chair?

If we're challenging the chair on the speaking order and the chair is not sustained, what would the speaking order be? Should we bring forward a motion with a new speaking order?

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

Let's do it one step at a—

[Taylor Bachrach, NDP, Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC]

I have a speaking order in mind, and I would love to propose it as a motion. It has me right at the top.

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

Let's do one thing at a time, please, Mr. Bachrach.

Could you repeat, Mr. Mazier?

[Deborah Curran]

I'm sorry, but the—

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

Are you challenging the speaking order I have because you think you should be next?

[Taylor Bachrach, NDP, Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC]

On a point of order, Mr. Chair, I think perhaps the interpretation isn't working for some of our witnesses following our shenanigans online.

[Deborah Curran]

The translation is backwards.

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

Okay. Maybe it's a question of choosing. Did you choose the right channel?

[Taylor Bachrach, NDP, Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC]

It's good now. They fixed it.

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

We'll vote on Mr. Mazier's challenge of my ruling regarding the speaking order.

[Taylor Bachrach, NDP, Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC]

Mr. Chair, did you answer my question about what happens if the speaking order is—

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

I didn't because I don't have the answer right now.

[Taylor Bachrach, NDP, Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC]

Could we confer with the clerk and maybe recess for a few minutes and then come back?

[Lloyd Longfield, Liberal, Guelph, ON]

It's a dilatory motion.
