Fisheries Committee on Dec. 4th, 2024

[Rick Perkins, Conservative, South Shore—St. Margarets, NS]

That wasn't on the agenda.

[Mel Arnold, Conservative, North Okanagan—Shuswap, BC]

I'd like to ask for an extension of services.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]

We don't have it; 6:32 is all we can get, and we have three votes to do.

[Rick Perkins, Conservative, South Shore—St. Margarets, NS]

First of all, you didn't check. When a member requests that, under the new rules, you're supposed to check to see if we can get additional resources.

Secondly—

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]

I asked that at the beginning, before I even started the meeting.

[Rick Perkins, Conservative, South Shore—St. Margarets, NS]

No, the new rule is that a member can ask about that.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]

I asked before I even started the meeting.

[Rick Perkins, Conservative, South Shore—St. Margarets, NS]

A member can ask anytime in the meeting for additional resources.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]

Well, the answer is no.

[Rick Perkins, Conservative, South Shore—St. Margarets, NS]

No, you don't get to rule on that. The clerk is responsible for asking.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]

The clerk informed me, when I came in today, that we had to finish at 6:32—period.

[Rick Perkins, Conservative, South Shore—St. Margarets, NS]

Secondly, the vote isn't listed, so we have 10 minutes left to continue questioning.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]

No, you don't.

[Rick Perkins, Conservative, South Shore—St. Margarets, NS]

Yes, we do.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]

It's right here. It says, “supplementary estimates”.

[Rick Perkins, Conservative, South Shore—St. Margarets, NS]

I challenge the chair on that ruling.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]

You can challenge who you like.

[Rick Perkins, Conservative, South Shore—St. Margarets, NS]

You have to conduct the vote.

[Clifford Small, Conservative, Coast of Bays—Central—Notre Dame, NL]

I have a point of order, Mr. Chair.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]

We're doing a vote first.

[Bobby Morrissey, Liberal, Egmont, PE]

I have a point of order, Chair. I’m not sure what we’re voting on. I’m not sure what the chair got challenged on.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]

I got challenged on moving to the vote, I guess, on the supplementary estimates.

[Rick Perkins, Conservative, South Shore—St. Margarets, NS]

That's correct.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]

Mr. Perkins doesn't want us to vote on them.

[Rick Perkins, Conservative, South Shore—St. Margarets, NS]

No, I want us to finish with what the agenda says.
