Finance Committee on Oct. 8th, 2020

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

They want to shut it down.

[Some hon. members]

Oh, oh!

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

Listen to all of them shouting. It's like a chorus of screaming and hollering.

[The Chair, Liberal, Wayne Easter]

Order.

That's not a point of order, so I'm going to take a poll—

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

The second the truth starts to come out, we get some terrified people screaming from the caucus of the Liberal Party.

[Mark Gerretsen, Liberal, Kingston and the Islands, ON]

Mr. Chair, if you can't get him in order, you're going to have to suspend this meeting.

[The Chair, Liberal, Wayne Easter]

Mr. Poilievre—

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

Now he wants to suspend the meeting.

[Mark Gerretsen, Liberal, Kingston and the Islands, ON]

I don't, but if you're going to be out of order like this—

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

Thou dost protest too much.

[Mark Gerretsen, Liberal, Kingston and the Islands, ON]

I do not want to suspend. I still have 76 pages to go through.

I don't want to suspend.

[The Chair, Liberal, Wayne Easter]

Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen. It's not a point of order. We will poll the committee to see if there is the will to adjourn—

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

Mr. Chair, I have a point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, Wayne Easter]

Is it a point of order this time?

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

It is indeed.

[Mark Gerretsen, Liberal, Kingston and the Islands, ON]

We'll see.

[The Chair, Liberal, Wayne Easter]

Let's hear it and we'll see.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

Based on the Standing Orders, it is clear that you cannot use an adjournment to cover up a political scandal.

[Mark Gerretsen, Liberal, Kingston and the Islands, ON]

That's not a point of order. Pierre, I was rooting for you that time.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

Can someone, the Sergeant-at-Arms, go over there and settle him down?

[Julie Dzerowicz, Liberal, Davenport, ON]

It's not a point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, Wayne Easter]

Madam Clerk, would you poll the committee to see if we have the will of a majority to adjourn?

[Evelyn Lukyniuk]

You would like me to ask for a recorded division?

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

This is clearly a cover-up. They're going to shut down the meeting instead of allowing the meeting to go ahead—

[Mark Gerretsen, Liberal, Kingston and the Islands, ON]

Stop with the rhetoric there.
