I voted against this.
Was there a chance for debate?
Evidence of meeting #1 for Fisheries and Oceans in the 43rd Parliament, 2nd session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was chair.
A recording is available from Parliament.

We can certainly debate it. We have only found out now that we can accept this.
Do you want a debate first?

No, I see that Jaime is here.
I love the fisheries and oceans committee and I wish I could spend more time with you. But I have other meetings booked and I'm sure other members have. I know that staff have other work as well.
All these things are important, but if we could wait until the next meeting, I would appreciate it. That's why I'll be voting no.
The Clerk
Mr. Battiste is with us.
Mr. Battiste, this is a recorded vote under way. It is on the question: shall the committee continue to sit?
(Motion negatived: nays 6; yeas 5)

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald
We do not have permission to extend, according to the vote.
On that note, we'll adjourn the meeting.
Thank you, everyone.
