Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB
Mr. Chair, am I an associate member? Could you check your records?
Maybe the clerk can clarify.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca
We're back.
We have received the substitution.
Go ahead on the point of order.
Conservative
Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB
Thank you, Chair.
My first point of order is that I would have had a right to raise a point of order regardless of whether or not I was substituted in.
My second point of order, though, is to Mr. Turnbull's point. He is misleading the committee. Our Conservative leader put forward three specific demands in relation to the budget. They were to axe the carbon tax, remove gatekeepers—
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca
Hold on for one second.
The substitution has actually not gone through. Unless MP Hallan leaves the room, you are not subbed in to the committee.
I'll return to Mr. Turnbull.

I'm sorry. On a point of order, Chair, maybe the clerk can clarify, but I don't need to be subbed in to raise a point of order.

Ryan Turnbull Liberal Whitby, ON
Thank you very much.
As I was saying, we tried to achieve consensus with the Conservatives. Obviously, they weren't willing to work together.

Adam Chambers Conservative Simcoe North, ON
Are you making a ruling that Mr. Genuis does not have the ability to make a point of order? Is that a ruling you're making?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca
No, what I'm saying, MP Chambers, is that MP Turnbull has the floor. MP Genuis has not been subbed in as of yet.
Conservative
Adam Chambers Conservative Simcoe North, ON
Is that a ruling you're making? Can you confirm with the clerk whether that's a question of privilege?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca
We're back.
To answer MP Chambers, members cannot just walk through the door and start screaming out “point of order”.
Conservative
Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB
On a point of order, Chair, I didn't just walk through the door. I was elected by the constituents of Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan to represent them in this House of Commons.
Conservative
Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB
I was named an associate member of this committee, which means I have a right to raise points of order.
Conservative
Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB
On a point of order, are you going to let me to speak or is this going to become a matter of privilege?
