Finance Committee on May 29th, 2023

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

There's nothing in the motion that was adopted that says you can't move deletion amendments.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

We'll hear from the legislative clerk, please.

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

Thank you.

[Philippe Méla, Legislative Clerk]

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

It's not in order to move an amendment. To delete a clause, you have to vote against the clause.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

Okay. You've heard, MP Genuis. You can't do it. We're on clause 8.

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

Okay. I'm sorry, but I'm challenging the chair on that. That's not my understanding, with all due respect.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

Okay. There is a challenge, Clerk.

(Ruling of the chair sustained: yeas 7; nays 4)

That's carried. We're on clause 9.

[A voice]

Sir, we didn't vote on the clause.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

I apologize. Let's go back. It was sustained.

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

Can I point out that we should vote on it—

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

No, you can't point anything out.

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

—or is that debate?

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

MP Genuis, you can't—

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

I'm asking for a recorded division. Is that debate?

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

You can. You can ask for recorded division.

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

That's great.

[Julie Dzerowicz, Liberal, Davenport, ON]

It's on division.

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

Do we want a recorded division?

That's just so I understand the distinctions you're making, Chair.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

We're on clause 8.

(Clause 8 agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4)

(Clause 9 agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4)

We're at clause 10.

[A voice]

On division.

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

Could we have a recorded vote?

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

MP Gazan, you can't be recognized at this time. We need an official substitution.

[Leah Gazan, NDP, Winnipeg Centre, MB]

That should have come in to the clerk.

[Philip Lawrence, Conservative, Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON]

I move that we suspend while Ms. Gazan gets officially recognized.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

We're just seeing if the clerk has received it, because it looks like it has been sent. I don't know if there's....
