Justice Committee on Dec. 9th, 2025

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

You can try.

[An hon. member]

No.

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

You do not have unanimous consent.

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

I guess the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice has said no—

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

Mr. Brock, these are not recorded votes. It's not appropriate to identify people who are speaking when the mic is not on.

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

Well, this is televised—

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

You do not have unanimous consent, which I've made very clear. If you have submissions on the subamendment, the floor is yours.

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

Yes, I have some more submissions to make.

I just received notice of a woman from Quebec, in Longueuil, who was out on bail and was arrested again after a Black child, aged 10, was scalded with boiling water. Given the significance of this case and given the significance of the bail and sentencing reform act that is Bill C-14, I would like to table this article with the committee at this time.

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

Do we have unanimous consent to table the article?

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

Mr. Chair, what is the source of this article?

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

It's from the Gazette.

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

When is it dated?

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

It is dated—

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

Is it translated, Mr. Brock, just out of curiosity?

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

It is not translated. It's only in English.

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

Okay. We would need unanimous consent to waive the—

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

Mr. Chair, how is that relevant to the subamendment?

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

It's not translated anyway, so I think we're not going to get anywhere.

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

Thank you.

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

Do we not have unanimous consent?

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

We do not have unanimous consent, if for no other reason than the article is only in one official language.

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

Thank you.

I'm prepared to cede my time at this time.

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

Thank you.

That takes us to Mr. Gill.

[Harb Gill, Conservative, Windsor West, ON]

Which Mr. Gill?

[The Chair, Liberal, James Maloney]

That's a good question.

It's Mr. Gill who's a regular member of this committee.
