Industry Committee on March 10th, 2016

[The Chair, Liberal, Dan Ruimy]

Mr. Nuttall, I would ask you that you hold on to that thought. I would ask you that you hold on to that thought right now, please.

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

—and get a social licence with this committee and that the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology extend an invitation to Porter Airlines to speak to the committee as soon as possible about what approval of the Billy Bishop airport would have meant for their business, the jobs it would have created locally, and their order of Bombardier C Series aircraft—

[The Chair, Liberal, Dan Ruimy]

If you do not stop, I will suspend this committee right now. Mr. Nuttall, this is your last warning.

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

Further, that they testify as to the criteria for their purchase that made the Bombardier C Series aircraft seem like the right choice for their business needs when compared with other aircraft of similar size.

I'll leave the motion on the floor, Mr. Chair.

[The Chair, Liberal, Dan Ruimy]

There is no motion. Thank you very much.

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

There is. I just moved it, which is within the rules, Mr. Chair. If you look, you'll see within the rules that when I have the floor, I can move a motion. It has been so moved, and I would expect that motion to be dealt with accordingly.

[The Chair, Liberal, Dan Ruimy]

Okay. First of all, you need to submit your motion 48 hours in advance. You cannot bring new business to this. That's number one.

Number two, we've already talked about this issue. That motion has been voted down.

Number three, we are going to take a recess right now while we regroup here, because—

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

Mr. Chair, just to be clear, this is a separate motion, not the same. Second of all, I am asking for unanimous consent.

[The Chair, Liberal, Dan Ruimy]

Then you would need to submit that.

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

I'm going to ask for unanimous consent that this committee hear this today. So I'm asking for unanimous consent from the committee.

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

We're not answering those questions. We're going to take the break, as you suggested, right now.

[The Chair, Liberal, Dan Ruimy]

Are you suggesting a motion?

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

I'm respecting your request, Mr. Chair.

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

Please call the vote.

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

Mr. Chair, you called a break, and I'm respecting that.

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

Okay, we'll deal with that when we get back. We'll just deal with it again.

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

We'll take a break, thanks.

[The Chair, Liberal, Dan Ruimy]

We are back.

As I understand it, this is a motion that you are trying to put through. As per what we all voted on at our first meeting, new business going to subcommittee requires 48 hours' notice. However, if you're seeking unanimous consent, then I will put that to a vote.

[A voice]

There is no consent.

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

I'll ask for a recorded vote on that, please.

[The Chair, Liberal, Dan Ruimy]

There is no unanimous consent, so the 48-hour rule does prevail.

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

Can I have some of my time back, which was interrupted?

[The Chair, Liberal, Dan Ruimy]

No, actually, your time is long overdue. We are going to move to—

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

On a point of personal parliamentary privilege, Mr. Chair—

[The Chair, Liberal, Dan Ruimy]

Mr. Nuttall, you took your time to work on what you did. That time has now elapsed. As per my rule as the chair, we are now going to move on to—
