The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter

There is no notice required—

6:20 p.m.

Conservative

Pierre Poilievre Conservative Carleton, ON

It's okay, I just have a separate point of order.

6:20 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter

Okay.

6:20 p.m.

Conservative

Pierre Poilievre Conservative Carleton, ON

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

We just received a motion from Monsieur Dusseault, which members of the Conservative delegation were planning to support. We think it is—

6:20 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter

I don't think that's a point of order.

6:20 p.m.

Conservative

Pierre Poilievre Conservative Carleton, ON

No, it isn't. You're right, but I am coming to my point.

6:20 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter

No, I'm sorry, Pierre, there is no debate allowed on this kind of motion.

6:20 p.m.

Conservative

Pierre Poilievre Conservative Carleton, ON

I'm not debating the member's motion. I have no comment on her motion whatsoever.

6:20 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter

I'm going to disallow the debate. I don't see it as a point of order.

I'm going to call the vote.

6:20 p.m.

NDP

Pierre-Luc Dusseault NDP Sherbrooke, QC

A recorded vote, please. I am surprised by this decision.

6:20 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter

A recorded vote.

Mr. Clerk.

6:20 p.m.

Conservative

Pierre Poilievre Conservative Carleton, ON

Mr. Chair, I just want to note for the record that no member of the governing caucus was prepared to defend their position on this issue, or their party's position on it.

6:20 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter

There is no debate. Pull the mike.

The motion is on the floor.

(Motion agreed to: yeas 5; nays 4)

The motion is carried.

I would point out that this means that we are temporarily suspending debate under way on a motion or study. That's what it says in House of Commons Procedure and Practice.

Turning then to the next order of business, which is the—

6:20 p.m.

Conservative

Pierre Poilievre Conservative Carleton, ON

On a point of order, Mr. Chair, I understand that the members have temporarily delayed debate on this motion and will be revisiting the subject forthwith. When do you foresee our having an opportunity to do that?

6:20 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter

Well, we certainly won't do that until we come back after the break week, but that depends on when somebody wants to lift it off the table. That's my understanding.

6:20 p.m.

Conservative

Pierre Poilievre Conservative Carleton, ON

I would like to put forward a motion for unanimous agreement that we will have a special hearing into this matter, and that the members of each party will confer to ensure that we are able to do this within the next two weeks.

6:20 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter

I do not see that. If somebody wants to move a motion outside of the day that we're dealing with Bill C-63, they have the right to do so. They can lift it off the table and we'll be back here in the week of November 20.

Mr. Dusseault had his hand up next, and then Mr. Fergus, and then Mr. Albas.

6:25 p.m.

NDP

Pierre-Luc Dusseault NDP Sherbrooke, QC

I would like to make a motion that this committee resume study of my motion as soon as the committee is available to do so.

6:25 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter

A sub-motion.

Can you tell us what your motion is again, Pierre?

6:25 p.m.

NDP

Pierre-Luc Dusseault NDP Sherbrooke, QC

The motion goes like this:

That the committee resume study of the motion at the first available opportunity.

6:25 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter

It is in order. “At the earliest opportunity” would be the week of November 20.

It is in order. Okay, it's on the table.

6:25 p.m.

Conservative

Pierre Poilievre Conservative Carleton, ON

I would like to speak to that.

6:25 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter

I had Mr. Fergus next on my list, and then Mr. Albas.

6:25 p.m.

Liberal

Jennifer O'Connell Liberal Pickering—Uxbridge, ON

I'm speaking to the motion he just moved. Is that not laid on the table?

I move that the debate be now adjourned.

6:25 p.m.

An hon. member

She did not have the floor.
