Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

Yes, you did. Anyway, I'm asking—

The Chair Liberal Sukh Dhaliwal

I didn't say that. In fact, if I said it directly, it was to you members, because they did not bring in a motion today. It's the Conservative members who are bringing motion after motion. I have not said Liberals. I have not said Conservatives. I was talking generally, but I know—

5:10 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

That's my job.

The Chair Liberal Sukh Dhaliwal

Now you want me to say it, and it was the Conservatives, so continue to read.

5:10 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

Conservatives what...?

The Chair Liberal Sukh Dhaliwal

They're the ones who are bringing the motion. They're not paying attention to what I said earlier. You said the Liberals. It's not Liberals.

5:10 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

Actually, the 106(4) motion was brought forward by Conservatives and the Bloc.

The Chair Liberal Sukh Dhaliwal

That has been dealt with.

5:10 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

That's who signed off on this. This is to have an emergency meeting on PrescribeIT and Michael Green, former president and CEO of Canada Health Infoway.

I will go back to my original statement about trust. I think this has demonstrated.... We sought unanimous consent. My colleague Mr. Strauss asked for UC. That wasn't even acknowledged. I've asked for it, through you, Chair. I have asked the Liberals. There's been no uptake. There have been no arms going up at all. It's just to seek UC to get this done. Then we always go back to...here, we're going to start talking—

The Chair Liberal Sukh Dhaliwal

Mr. Mazier, this is not a point of order. It's debate.

5:15 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

I'm talking about my motion.

The Chair Liberal Sukh Dhaliwal

Just read the motion.

5:15 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

I'm still talking—

The Chair Liberal Sukh Dhaliwal

Please read the motion.

5:15 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

I'm still talking about the verbal motion.

The Chair Liberal Sukh Dhaliwal

I'm not going to let you debate on this one. Just read it.

5:15 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

I did read it. I can read it again.

The Chair Liberal Sukh Dhaliwal

Don't read it again. Just start from where you finished.

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

Okay. I am not finished, but now I can continue on with the verbal motion.

The Chair Liberal Sukh Dhaliwal

Okay.

5:15 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

Just so we're clear, it's that the committee summon Michael Green, former president and CEO of Canada Health Infoway, and that the committee request the Minister of Health and officials to testify at committee on PrescribeIT.

That's what I was seeking unanimous consent on, just so we're clear, Chair.

Now I will go back to the HIV motion. It directly links back to this because I go back to my statement on trust. As presented by Mr. Strauss, the amendment and the motion was for no later than July 22, 2026. The purpose of completing this study and ensuring that this report is tabled by July 22, 2026, when we have all risen—

5:15 p.m.

Conservative

Burton Bailey Conservative Red Deer, AB

I have a point of order.

The Chair Liberal Sukh Dhaliwal

Go ahead on a point of order.

5:15 p.m.

Conservative

Burton Bailey Conservative Red Deer, AB

I'm sorry to interrupt, Chair, but can you tell me what the speaking list is? I have one more thing that I would like to get across.

The Chair Liberal Sukh Dhaliwal

You are on the list.

I have Mr. Mazier. He still has the floor because he has to read a notice of motion, and now he's speaking. Then we have Dr. Eyolfson, Dr. Strauss and then you, Mr. Bailey. There's a long list.
