Mr. Chair, I have a point of order.
Could we have a bio break now as we're two hours in?

No, we can wait. We had a bio break just a little bit ago.

Mr. Chair, I have a point of order.
I just received a good faith message from Mr. Beech with respect to some upcoming provisions.

Mr. Chair, on a point of order, perhaps you could refer to your clerk. Is there a time allotment for how long it takes to vote?

I'd like a recorded vote.

Conservative

On a point of order, is there any precedent for a chair ever refusing a member to vote because they took too much time, ever in the history of the House of Commons?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca
That is not a question. It is at the discretion of the chair. What we are moving to—
Conservative
Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
Mr. Chair, on a point of order, my privilege has been violated.
Conservative
Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
I asked a question with respect to that. Can the chair just pick zero seconds if he wants?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca
I don't know if we have any information on that.
No, there is no information we have for you, MP Lawrence.
Conservative
Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
Just to be clear, there is absolutely zero precedent of a chair ever refusing a member, no matter how much time they took to vote.
