Citizenship and Immigration Committee on March 23rd, 2026

[The Chair, Liberal, Julie Dzerowicz]

Ms. Rempel Garner, at the beginning, I said to please not talk over each other. It's very hard for our interpreters to interpret two people at the same time. Kindly allow the answer to happen.

Yes, Ms. Rempel Garner.

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

The witness is obfuscating. She's trying to run out the clock because she doesn't have answers to why she's letting her colleague Patty kowtow to Tim Hortons workers.

[The Chair, Liberal, Julie Dzerowicz]

That's not a point of order, Ms. Rempel Garner.

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

Thank you.

On that point—

[Sameer Zuberi, Liberal, Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC]

I have a point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, Julie Dzerowicz]

Mr. Zuberi, go ahead on a point of order.

[Sameer Zuberi, Liberal, Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC]

Thank you for giving space to all of us to raise points of order and to the witness for giving the time.

On a number of occasions—

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

This is not a point of order. This is debate, and he's taking my time.

[The Chair, Liberal, Julie Dzerowicz]

Mr. Zuberi, that's not a point of order.

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

Enough of this.

[Sameer Zuberi, Liberal, Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC]

Do I have the floor, Madam Chair?

[The Chair, Liberal, Julie Dzerowicz]

Mr. Zuberi, that's not a point of order.

[Sameer Zuberi, Liberal, Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC]

I was about to get to my point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, Julie Dzerowicz]

Okay. Please get to your point of order, Mr. Zuberi.

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

No, this is my time, and this is now debate.

[The Chair, Liberal, Julie Dzerowicz]

Your clock is stopped, Ms. Rempel Garner.

Mr. Zuberi.

[Sameer Zuberi, Liberal, Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC]

On more than one occasion in this round, the witness was not able to complete her answer and her sentence. She was interrupted mid-sentence, and I hope we can actually hear what she is—

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

This is not a point of order. I have a point of order about my privilege.

[The Chair, Liberal, Julie Dzerowicz]

Thank you, Mr. Zuberi.

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

The Liberals on this committee continue—

[The Chair, Liberal, Julie Dzerowicz]

Thank you, Ms. Rempel Garner.

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

Every member of this committee.... Because the minister is weak, the CBC reported that—

[The Chair, Liberal, Julie Dzerowicz]

That is not a point of order. Thank you.

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

My privilege is being violated here—

[The Chair, Liberal, Julie Dzerowicz]

That is not a point of order.
