Finance Committee on May 29th, 2023

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

Mr. Chair, this is a valid point of order. My privilege is being violated.

[Sophie Chatel, Liberal, Pontiac, QC]

The library is just one floor away. You can go and check the precedent.

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

My privilege is being violated. I was sent here by the people of Northumberland—Peterborough South. I work for them, not for the Liberal Party.

[Sophie Chatel, Liberal, Pontiac, QC]

That's debate. We're having a recorded vote.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

MP Lawrence, the timing—

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

I asked you a question, Mr. Chair. I know that you decide when the chair can be challenged.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

Yes. MP Lawrence, what I will say is that I allow ample time for you to vote. I've allowed ample time throughout all of these proceedings. Do you believe you have ample time to vote?

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

I believe you've been reasonable in that respect.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

Thank you.

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

I just want clarity. That's all I'm asking for.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

Thank you.

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

We live in a rules-based system. I just want to know what the rules are.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

It's at the discretion—

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

We don't live in North Korea.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

Yes. It's at the discretion—

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

You don't get to decide.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

MP Lawrence, we're not getting into debate. It is at the discretion of the chair. I've allowed for ample time. I'm glad you recognized that.

Shall clause 416 carry?

[Yvan Baker, Liberal, Etobicoke Centre, ON]

I'd like a recorded vote.

(Clause 416 agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4)

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

I will now call clauses 417 to 435.

[Yvan Baker, Liberal, Etobicoke Centre, ON]

I'd like recorded votes.

(Clauses 417 to 435 agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4)

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

Now we're at division 22, Canada Transportation Act.

I would like to see if members are interested in grouping clauses 436 to 451 before we get to our first amendment. We would need unanimous consent to group clauses 436 to 451.

[Some hon. members]

No.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Fonseca]

Okay.
