Finance Committee on Oct. 8th, 2020

[The Chair, Liberal, Wayne Easter]

Just hold on.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

I have a point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, Wayne Easter]

Just wait until I make my point before you make your point of order.

To adjourn, we have to have the will of the committee, so we have to have the majority.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

I have a point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, Wayne Easter]

That's that.

What's your point of order?

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

Mr. Chair, according to the Standing Orders, the matter needs to be treated before the meeting is adjourned. It's been clear through this marathon speech session, which has gone on now for 12 hours, that the Liberals on this committee have something to hide. There are obviously bombshells in these documents—

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

Mr. Chair, that is not a point of order.

[Some hon. members]

It is not a point of order.

[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.
