NDP
Peter Julian NDP Burnaby—New Westminster, BC
This is the most thuggish attempt to stop parliamentarians from intervening on a bill that I've ever seen. I just cannot believe--
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit
Mr. Julian has chosen to abstain.
(Clause 84 agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
We're on clause 85, NDP-63.1. Let's go to a recorded vote.

NDP
Peter Julian NDP Burnaby—New Westminster, BC
I have, and I'm calling a point of order, Mr. Chair.
I hope that's not a glass of wine that I see in front of you, Mr. Chair, because that would be extremely inappropriate at a committee hearing.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit
NDP-66 has failed.
(Amendment negatived [See Minutes of Proceedings])
We'll go to the point of order, Mr. Julian. I just wanted to complete the vote on NDP-66. Let's go to a point of order.
NDP
Peter Julian NDP Burnaby—New Westminster, BC
I certainly hope that is not a glass of wine that I see in front of you, Mr. Chair. That would be inappropriate when we're doing the country's business.
Conservative
NDP
Peter Julian NDP Burnaby—New Westminster, BC
I certainly hope it isn't.
I am going to raise a point of order around the postponement of clauses. These clauses are not being treated with any due respect, so I would like to move that the next clause be postponed.
