Industry Committee on Feb. 18th, 2016

[The Clerk]

Yes, and it's non-debatable.

[Frank Baylis, Liberal, Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC]

I'm putting that motion forward right now. Let's have a vote.

[Alex Nuttall, Conservative, Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte, ON]

I don't want to debate. I want to ask a question.

[Frank Baylis, Liberal, Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC]

No, let's have a vote. I want to follow the order....

[Alex Nuttall, Conservative, Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte, ON]

It's not a debate. I don't want to debate with you. I want to ask a question.

[Frank Baylis, Liberal, Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC]

Excuse me. Thank you. I've been told to follow the rules, and I'm trying my best. If I understand, if I put the motion now I want to go back in camera, to the clerk and the rules, can that happen right now?

[The Clerk]

Yes.

[Frank Baylis, Liberal, Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC]

Yes. Okay, then I put it, and—

[The Chair, Liberal, Dan Ruimy]

I just want to bring your attention to the original conversation about why we asked for it to be in camera. The comment was that we could go back to it, if we were having a challenge and that's where we are right now.

The motion is to go in camera

[Alex Nuttall, Conservative, Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte, ON]

I have a point of order, Mr. Chair, before this vote.

Just to go back to what you've now cited me as saying—and I did say it and I agree 100%, but at the same time, so that my words are fulsome and on the record, because they were in camera before—what I said was that the point of going in public was so that the public knows the decisions we're making and the reasons for making them. If we're going back in camera, I would ask the question—

[Some hon. members]

Oh, oh!

[Alex Nuttall, Conservative, Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte, ON]

I'm not debating. This is not a debate; this is a point of order.

The point of order question is to the mover. Please tell this committee for what purpose you want to go in camera. It's not a debate; it's a point of order question.

[Frank Baylis, Liberal, Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC]

If I understand the rules—

[The Chair, Liberal, Dan Ruimy]

Sorry, kids—hold on—it's non-debatable.

[Frank Baylis, Liberal, Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC]

Let's have the vote, please.

[The Chair, Liberal, Dan Ruimy]

As per the clerk, it is non-debatable.

[Frank Baylis, Liberal, Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC]

If you'd like to follow the points of order, let's have the vote.

(Motion agreed to)

[The Chair, Liberal, Dan Ruimy]

We will go in camera.
