Justice Committee on Dec. 9th, 2025

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

She can speak to it; she can't—

[Jacob Mantle, Conservative, York—Durham, ON]

I have a point of order, Mr. Chair.

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

Mr. Mantle, go ahead.

[Jacob Mantle, Conservative, York—Durham, ON]

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I think if you seek it and you listen to the voice vote of committee members, you will see—

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

Mr. Mantle, I can—

[Jacob Mantle, Conservative, York—Durham, ON]

—we have unanimous consent to move to Bill C-14.

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

—take these motions from people who are regular members of the committee. You're allowed to sit at the table and participate.

[Jacob Mantle, Conservative, York—Durham, ON]

Mr. Chair, I'd like to finish my point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

I understand, but you're trying to introduce a motion.

[Jacob Mantle, Conservative, York—Durham, ON]

I am not, Mr. Chair. I'm seeking unanimous consent. It is not a motion.

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

You cannot do that. You're allowed to participate and make submissions on what we're talking about. Only regular members can do what you're trying to do.

[Jacob Mantle, Conservative, York—Durham, ON]

I'm allowed to make a point of order, and I seek unanimous consent.

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

Mr. Mantle, your request is denied. It is out of order.

Ms. Anstey, you have the floor.

[Jacob Mantle, Conservative, York—Durham, ON]

I challenge your decision, Mr. Chair.

[Amarjeet Gill, Conservative, Brampton West, ON]

I have a point of order.

[Jacob Mantle, Conservative, York—Durham, ON]

I challenge your decision, Mr. Chair.

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

You can't do that either.

[Andrew Lawton, Conservative, Elgin—St. Thomas—London South, ON]

I challenge your decision, then.

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

Okay, that's your right.

[Andrew Lawton, Conservative, Elgin—St. Thomas—London South, ON]

I'd like you to put your decision on the record, Mr. Chair.

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

Just to be clear on what the Conservatives have done, I'll note that Mr. Mantle has tried to seek unanimous consent, which, even if he were a regular member, he was not allowed to do because he was doing it on a point of order. I denied it. Mr. Lawton is now challenging that decision.

We'll take a vote on that.

[Anthony Housefather, Liberal, Mount Royal, QC]

Mr. Chair, I have a point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

Yes.

[Anthony Housefather, Liberal, Mount Royal, QC]

I would just like clarity—

[Andrew Lawton, Conservative, Elgin—St. Thomas—London South, ON]

It's a dilatory vote.
