Health Committee on June 21st, 2021

[Michelle Rempel, Conservative, Calgary Nose Hill, AB]

On a point of order, Chair, I'm not sure what the point of order is or what the—

[Jennifer O'Connell, Liberal, Pickering—Uxbridge, ON]

Excuse me. I'm responding to the diatribe that went on and that questioned our intentions.

[Michelle Rempel, Conservative, Calgary Nose Hill, AB]

This is a matter of debate, so....

[Jennifer O'Connell, Liberal, Pickering—Uxbridge, ON]

Mr. Chair, in addition to that—

[The Chair, Liberal, Ron McKinnon]

Ms. Rempel Garner, please hold up. I gave Mr. Davies extraordinary leeway. I think it's appropriate that we match that with Ms. O'Connell.

Go ahead.

[Jennifer O'Connell, Liberal, Pickering—Uxbridge, ON]

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

[Michelle Rempel, Conservative, Calgary Nose Hill, AB]

I challenge your ruling.

[Jennifer O'Connell, Liberal, Pickering—Uxbridge, ON]

Mr. Chair—

[Michelle Rempel, Conservative, Calgary Nose Hill, AB]

I challenge your ruling. We need to get to the witnesses. I challenge your ruling.

[Jennifer O'Connell, Liberal, Pickering—Uxbridge, ON]

Mr. Chair, just to be clear, now members can't be recognized on a point of order if Ms. Rempel Garner doesn't agree. That's what she's saying here, that members can't raise a point of order. Only members that the Conservatives and their buddies being propped up by the NDP against—

[Michelle Rempel, Conservative, Calgary Nose Hill, AB]

No. I want to move on to witnesses. We're using procedure to do that—

[Jennifer O'Connell, Liberal, Pickering—Uxbridge, ON]

Mr. Chair, we brought forward motions—

[Larry Maguire, Conservative, Brandon—Souris, MB]

I have a point of order, Mr. Chair.

[Jennifer O'Connell, Liberal, Pickering—Uxbridge, ON]

Even before I was on this committee—

[Larry Maguire, Conservative, Brandon—Souris, MB]

This is debate. We've voted on this. It's time to move forward.

[Jennifer O'Connell, Liberal, Pickering—Uxbridge, ON]

—HESA members brought forward motions on long-term care. We did again on May 28.

[Michelle Rempel, Conservative, Calgary Nose Hill, AB]

This is debate.

[Jennifer O'Connell, Liberal, Pickering—Uxbridge, ON]

We did it again today, because this is our last chance.

[Chris d'Entremont, Conservative, West Nova, NS]

On a point of order, this is debate.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ron McKinnon]

Ms. O'Connell has the floor. I gave her the latitude—

[Jennifer O'Connell, Liberal, Pickering—Uxbridge, ON]

I have an opportunity to raise that as a point of order because misinformation has been put forward.

[Michelle Rempel, Conservative, Calgary Nose Hill, AB]

I challenge your ruling on relevancy.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ron McKinnon]

Thank you, Ms. O'Connell.

Mr. Maguire and—

[Larry Maguire, Conservative, Brandon—Souris, MB]

Mr. Chair, I challenge your ruling. Obviously, you may be allowing this debate to go on as points of order until we run out of time so that we can't get the law clerk here, who is ready and waiting for us.

Thank you.

[Jennifer O'Connell, Liberal, Pickering—Uxbridge, ON]

The chair controls Mr. Davies speaking...? Mr. Maguire, that's ridiculous.
