Information & Ethics Committee on Oct. 9th, 2020

[The Chair, Conservative, David Sweet]

Madam Clerk, it's a dilatory motion. I will leave that to you now.

[Daniel Blaikie, NDP, Elmwood—Transcona, MB]

Can I request a recorded division on that?

[The Clerk]

Certainly.

(Motion agreed to: yeas 6; nays 4)

[Daniel Blaikie, NDP, Elmwood—Transcona, MB]

I have a point of order.

[The Chair, Conservative, David Sweet]

Yes, go ahead.

[Daniel Blaikie, NDP, Elmwood—Transcona, MB]

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

I would just note that Mrs. Shanahan had asked me to speak and express an opinion. I know that she voted to adjourn the meeting before I had the opportunity. I'm very disappointed in that fact. I just wanted to put that on the record.

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

Her PMO instructions changed.

[The Chair, Conservative, David Sweet]

I'm sorry, Mr. Blaikie.

Is everybody getting Mr. Blaikie okay? I'm noticing that the feed from the House is actually very flawed.

[Daniel Blaikie, NDP, Elmwood—Transcona, MB]

Can you hear me now, Mr. Chair?

[The Chair, Conservative, David Sweet]

Yes, I can. Thank you very much, Mr. Blaikie.

Go ahead now.

[Daniel Blaikie, NDP, Elmwood—Transcona, MB]

I just wanted to say that Mrs. Shanahan had exhorted me to explain the NDP position to her and then voted to adjourn the meeting before I had the opportunity. I just wanted the chance to express my disappointment in that fact on the record.

[A voice]

Evidence of a cover-up.

[The Chair, Conservative, David Sweet]

The meeting will now be adjourned and will be reconvened at the call of the chair.
