Justice Committee on Dec. 9th, 2025

[Dean Allison, Conservative, Niagara West, ON]

I'm seeking unanimous consent. Thank you for the clarification.

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

Do we have unanimous consent?

[Some hon. members]

No.

[Dean Allison, Conservative, Niagara West, ON]

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

Thank you very much, Mr. Allison.

[Patricia Lattanzio, Liberal, Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, QC]

Mr. Chair, I have a point of order.

I would like to seek unanimous consent to send Bill C-14, a very important piece of legislation, back to the House, as the hearings on C-9 are going to go on and on. It's quite obvious that we'll never be able to get to C-14. We don't have the collaboration of the members opposite.

[An hon. member]

No, you don't.

[Patricia Lattanzio, Liberal, Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, QC]

It's quite clear. You heard it there, Mr. Chair. We do not have that collaboration, so it is easy to understand that we will not be able to get through Bill C-9, and if we don't get through Bill C-9, we won't be able to get through Bill C-14.

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

Thank you, Ms. Lattanzio.

[Patricia Lattanzio, Liberal, Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, QC]

I seek unanimous consent to send Bill C-14 back to the House for third reading so that we can deliberate on it.

[Larry Brock, Conservative, Brantford—Brant South—Six Nations, ON]

Chair, may I be recognized on Ms. Lattanzio's unanimous consent?

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

Do we have unanimous consent?

[An hon. member]

No.

[Larry Brock, Conservative, Brantford—Brant South—Six Nations, ON]

Mr. Chair, can I clarify?

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

We do not have unanimous consent. Thank you.

Ms. Kronis.

[Roman Baber, Conservative, York Centre, ON]

I have a point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

Go ahead, Mr. Baber.

[Roman Baber, Conservative, York Centre, ON]

We have had some experience, in the last few weeks, of trying to work collaboratively. I hear Ms. Lattanzio and the desire to go on with Bill C-14. That's precisely what—

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

Is this debate?

Here's what we're going to do going forward. People are going to state what their point of order is, and then, if they have further submissions.... I don't want to spend the day listening to long submissions, with members saying, “Oh, I'm going to get to a point of order eventually.” I want to run this efficiently.

What is your point of order, Mr. Baber? State that up front.

[Roman Baber, Conservative, York Centre, ON]

I am content to take a break, if we need to suspend. We can have a conversation with Ms. Lattanzio about moving on with Bill C-14. We need to hear from witnesses.

[Patricia Lattanzio, Liberal, Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, QC]

Let's send it to the House. That was my motion.

[Roman Baber, Conservative, York Centre, ON]

I propose that we have a discussion about moving on with Bill C-14, the bail bill.

[Patricia Lattanzio, Liberal, Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, QC]

Let's finalize Bill C-9.

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

This is not productive. I think—

[Patricia Lattanzio, Liberal, Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, QC]

We can do Bill C-9 and go to Bill C-14.
