There was a point of order brought forward. Thank you, Mr. Anderson.

I think the point is that we're at the natural resources committee. We want to focus on natural resources. That's what Mr. Calkins' motion does. We can vote on it.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit
Yes. I've already ruled on that. The sooner we get to the vote, the sooner we get to witnesses.
Go ahead, Mr. McKay.

I was in the middle of reading my motion. It is not open to you—

—or to anyone else to interrupt a mover of a motion in the middle of moving the motion. It's not open.

The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit
Mr. McKay, it would be out of order for you to bring a motion at this time. There's a motion before the committee already.
Liberal
John McKay Liberal Scarborough—Guildwood, ON
With the greatest respect, Chair, you improperly interrupted my reading of the motion to take a point of order. You can't actually do that.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit
No. Order. When the chair is speaking you should be listening, Mr. McKay.

The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit
You're not allowed to bring a motion now, Mr. McKay. There's a motion before the committee.

The amendment has to be relevant to the motion, so get to the relevant portion.
