Finance Committee on Dec. 16th, 2021

[Terry Beech, Liberal, Burnaby North—Seymour, BC]

It's my first timing error coming into the new year.

Thank you, Mr. Blaikie.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

Thank you for clarifying that, Mr. Blaikie, and for that change.

The motion is open for discussion.

Mr. Poilievre.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

First of all, when will this motion be distributed?

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

Clerk, have you received it? No.

Mr. Beech, if you can please share the motion so all members can—

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

Is the motion considered moved, given that we don't have copies of it?

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

It is considered moved, yes.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

Where is it?

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

We are receiving it. Can it be sent to all members then, Clerk?

Ms. Dzerowicz, could you check your mike to see that everything is in order?

[The Clerk of the Committee, Mr. Alexandre Roger]

Ms. Dzerowicz, we can't hear you. We will have someone call you from our IT side.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

I will give Mr. Beech a moment. I think he's changing the date.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

It looks like he wasn't ready to speak yet. We don't have the motion.

What's the problem here?

[Terry Beech, Liberal, Burnaby North—Seymour, BC]

The motion has been circulated. I'm just trying to get all the Liberal members a copy as well, but everybody should have it.

The critics have it in their P9. Could they distribute it to all the members around the table? I don't have a view of everybody around the table at the moment, so I sent it to all the critics.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

Mr. Beech, did you send it to the clerk? All we need is for the clerk to receive it. Let the clerk distribute it.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

He has a whole department supporting him here.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

Ms. Dzerowicz, we can hear you now.

[Julie Dzerowicz, Liberal, Davenport, ON]

I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm back.

[Terry Beech, Liberal, Burnaby North—Seymour, BC]

Mr. Chair, I'm sending it to the other members also.

I believe it's in your inbox. Do you mind forwarding it over to the clerk?

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

Gabriel has it.

Thank you, Gabriel. You're like Santa Claus. You deliver.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

Could I please get a written copy of that?

[Terry Beech, Liberal, Burnaby North—Seymour, BC]

I wanted to perhaps [Inaudible—Editor]

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

Sure. Do you want to speak to the motion, Terry?

[Terry Beech, Liberal, Burnaby North—Seymour, BC]

I would be happy to, Chair.

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

You had already given me the floor, Mr. Chair. You had actually given me the floor, and I was asking to have a copy of the motion so I could address it.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

Okay. You're getting the motion, Mr. Poilievre.

Have you received it, Mr. Poilievre? Would you like to hear from Mr. Beech about the motion?

[Pierre Poilievre, Conservative, Carleton, ON]

When he's back on the speaking list, that would be great. I still don't have a copy of the motion.
