Thank you. You can do that. You can go to the Speaker. You can challenge the ruling. You have that prerogative.
I'm the chair of this committee—
Evidence of meeting #53 for Fisheries and Oceans in the 41st Parliament, 1st Session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was nations.

On a point of order on this procedural piece, speaking as a former committee chair, the chair's been challenged. Now I believe the committee has to either sustain the ruling of the chair or...whatever.

What we're dealing with here right now is that we need to confirm whether my ruling that Mr. Kamp has the floor is sustained by the committee. I would call the question on that ruling.
Mr. Chisholm, you asked for a recorded vote, but I believe that was on the other motion.
NDP
Philip Toone NDP Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine, QC
We are calling for a recorded vote on this one as well.

The Chair Conservative Rodney Weston
Thank you. That's what I was trying to ascertain.
(Ruling of the chair sustained: yeas 6; nays 5)
The ruling stands.
Mr. Kamp, you have moved that this committee proceed in camera. A recorded vote was requested. I will now call for the vote.
(Motion agreed to: yeas 6; nays 5)
The motion carries.
This committee will suspend for a few moments and proceed in camera.
[Proceedings continue in camera]
