Information & Ethics Committee on March 4th, 2024

[Michael Cooper, Conservative, St. Albert—Edmonton, AB]

I just want clarification. The effect of what Ms. Khalid has moved is to shut down debate—

[The Chair, Conservative, John Brassard]

That's debate, Mr. Cooper.

[Iqra Khalid, Liberal, Mississauga—Erin Mills, ON]

I'm so sorry, Chair, but no, I refuse to let this 106(4)—

[The Chair, Conservative, John Brassard]

That's debate.

[Iqra Khalid, Liberal, Mississauga—Erin Mills, ON]

—become political gander for my wonderful Conservative colleagues.

[The Chair, Conservative, John Brassard]

Ms. Khalid, I've already addressed that with Mr. Cooper.

[Iqra Khalid, Liberal, Mississauga—Erin Mills, ON]

Thank you.

[The Chair, Conservative, John Brassard]

For those who are watching at home, this is a dilatory motion to stop the meeting before a decision is rendered. It is non-debatable.

Mr. Chong has asked for a recorded division, and I'm going to ask the clerk—

[Iqra Khalid, Liberal, Mississauga—Erin Mills, ON]

I'm sorry, Chair, it sounds like you're debating a little bit there on this.

[The Chair, Conservative, John Brassard]

No, I'm explaining. I'm explaining, Ms. Khalid.

[Iqra Khalid, Liberal, Mississauga—Erin Mills, ON]

Okay.

[The Chair, Conservative, John Brassard]

Thank you.

I'm explaining exactly what's going on here and that there's no further debate. You've asked that this meeting be adjourned without a decision of the committee being made. I'm explaining—

[Iqra Khalid, Liberal, Mississauga—Erin Mills, ON]

Because this is not the mandate of the committee, Chair.

[The Chair, Conservative, John Brassard]

That's your opinion.

Go ahead with the vote, Madam Clerk.

(Motion agreed to: yeas 6; nays 4)

This meeting is now adjourned.
