Fisheries Committee on Dec. 4th, 2024

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

No, she didn't.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]

She told me before I turned on the mic.

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

No, she didn't.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]

Yes, she did. She showed it to me.

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

She might have told you. She didn't tell me. She didn't tell the committee.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]

You should be listening instead of talking.

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

You didn't say anything on the mic. Just because you have private conversations.... It's 6:32.

[Bobby Morrissey, Liberal, Egmont, PE]

Chair, on a point of order, if we have a motion to adjourn and we don't agree, we'll have to go to a vote. Is that right?

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]

Yes.

[Bobby Morrissey, Liberal, Egmont, PE]

Is Mr. Perkins moving that we adjourn before the questions are answered and before the department gets the money that everybody at this table was looking and asking for? I just want to know.

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

I move to adjourn.

[Bobby Morrissey, Liberal, Egmont, PE]

Okay. I don't agree with it.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]

All right. The clerk will do the vote.

[Bobby Morrissey, Liberal, Egmont, PE]

I request a recorded vote. I want to hear from the department and vote on the money that everybody was looking for.

(Motion negatived: nays 7; yeas 4)

[Bobby Morrissey, Liberal, Egmont, PE]

Now we'll get to the votes on the money the department is looking for.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]

There you go.

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

How much extra time do we have, Mr. Chair?

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]

I'll let you know when I'm finished. How's that?

[Bobby Morrissey, Liberal, Egmont, PE]

I request a recorded vote.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]

Okay.

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

We voted against your massive overspending.

[Bobby Morrissey, Liberal, Egmont, PE]

You were looking for money for your riding.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]

Shall I report the supplementary estimates (B), 2024-2025, votes 1b, 5b and 10b under Department of Fisheries and Oceans to the House?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

On division.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ken McDonald]
