A little order, MP Genuis. I know you're new to this committee. I know you're subbing here. I know you want to make a show for the members.

Mr. Chair, my touchpad is sticking a little bit. Is it possible for me to vote with a thumbs-up just so that I don't hold the committee back? I just feel like I'm wasting people's time.

The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca

MP Gazan, you can vote with a thumbs-up, or thumbs-down. Yes.

Mr. Chair, on a point of order, when a member votes by thumb, is that recorded in the same way as it would be for other votes?
