Procedure and House Affairs Committee on Feb. 6th, 2020

[Mark Gerretsen, Liberal, Kingston and the Islands, ON]

No, I'm sorry.

I have a point of order, Madam Chair.

[Blake Richards, Conservative, Banff—Airdrie, AB]

I'm on a point of order.

[Mark Gerretsen, Liberal, Kingston and the Islands, ON]

No, you're not. You're debating adjournment.

[Blake Richards, Conservative, Banff—Airdrie, AB]

I haven't had an opportunity. Please allow me the opportunity to finish. You're not the chair here, sir.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ruby Sahota]

I'm going to finish hearing Mr. Richards.

[Blake Richards, Conservative, Banff—Airdrie, AB]

Thank you, Madam Chair. I appreciate that.

Obviously, Mr. Therrien had indicated that he had done some work and it was still unclear and I was seeking some clarification from Ms. Blaney as to whether she had done the same.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ruby Sahota]

A motion to adjourn debate is not really debatable, so I will hear—

[Blake Richards, Conservative, Banff—Airdrie, AB]

I wasn't seeking debate. I was just asking for that clarification.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ruby Sahota]

Do you have clarification? Then we will be moving on to Mr. Gerretsen's point of order.

[Rachel Blaney, NDP, North Island—Powell River, BC]

At this point, I am not being paid for anything other than one role, so I don't perceive a conflict.

Thank you so much for the question.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ruby Sahota]

Okay.

Mr. Gerretsen.

[Mark Gerretsen, Liberal, Kingston and the Islands, ON]

I was just offering that on Mr. Richards' point, that was not a point of order. He's asking for clarification on a question, which is a product of engaging in debate.

[The Chair, Liberal, Ruby Sahota]

Okay, I guess we can move back to Ms. Blaney's motion to adjourn.

[Blake Richards, Conservative, Banff—Airdrie, AB]

I'd like a recorded vote.

(Motion agreed to: yeas 6; nays 5)

[The Chair, Liberal, Ruby Sahota]

The debate is adjourned on Ms. Blaney's motion.

There is still officially time in our meeting until one o'clock. What would you like? How would you like to proceed?

[Mark Gerretsen, Liberal, Kingston and the Islands, ON]

Can we adjourn the meeting?

[The Chair, Liberal, Ruby Sahota]

You'd like to move to adjourn the meeting.

[Blake Richards, Conservative, Banff—Airdrie, AB]

I would like a recorded vote.

(Motion agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4)

[The Chair, Liberal, Ruby Sahota]

The meeting is over.
