Natural Resources Committee on Oct. 23rd, 2024

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Mrs. Stubbs—

[Yvonne Jones, Liberal, Labrador, NL]

I want to put it on the record that I support Mr. Angus—

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

When you have your turn, Ms. Jones, and you have an opportunity to debate, you can put it on the record.

[Yvonne Jones, Liberal, Labrador, NL]

That will be three weeks from now.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Thank you.

Go ahead, Mrs. Stubbs.

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate it.

Maybe Mr. Angus wants to litigate the speaking list with you, but I think you called it out for this amendment, per the rules, and that's what's actually happening right now.

[Charlie Angus, NDP, Timmins—James Bay, ON]

On a point of order, now that we're down to one minute, no, I'm not litigating. I'm just saying that if I don't get a chance to speak, the Conservatives can't figure that they're just going to get to push this through by bullying us.

Since we're down to a minute, Mr. Chair, I ask you to make a decision. We're not being given a chance to speak to this, so will we just run out the clock?

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Thank you.

[Charlie Angus, NDP, Timmins—James Bay, ON]

We're now down to one minute, and none of us are getting a chance to speak. We have to listen to the Conservatives bully their way through committee yet again.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Thank you, Mr. Angus, for bringing that to my attention. I have you on the list and other members on the speaking order on the amendment. Hopefully, whether it's today in the next minute or so or at a future meeting, you'll get an opportunity to speak on this.

Mrs. Stubbs, you have the floor.

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Our colleague is calling time, but I guess that's ostensibly up to you, Mr. Chair, so I'll wait until you call that time. Certainly, I will take every opportunity I can to advocate for the people who elected me in Lakeland, the people of Alberta and the people across Canada, just as my Conservative colleagues—

[Yvonne Jones, Liberal, Labrador, NL]

I have a point of order, Mr. Chair.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

We have a point of order.

[Charlie Angus, NDP, Timmins—James Bay, ON]

It is 6:30—

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Everybody, I can only do one point of order at a time. I'm going to ask everybody to silence their mics until I recognize them.

Ms. Jones, I have you first on a point of order.

[Yvonne Jones, Liberal, Labrador, NL]

I see that the clock is at 6:30, Mr. Chair.

[Laila Goodridge, Conservative, Fort McMurray—Cold Lake, AB]

You can't move that on a point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

I'm aware. I am monitoring the clock, folks, and I will, at the appropriate time—

[Yvonne Jones, Liberal, Labrador, NL]

You are an exceptional chair, Mr. Chair.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Thank you.

Mr. Angus, you had a point of order. Does it have anything to do with anything procedural?

[Charlie Angus, NDP, Timmins—James Bay, ON]

Mr. Chair, are you saying you're going to run this meeting past 6:30?

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Once I'm done with your point of order, I'm going to turn to all of you to have that conversation.

Thank you for your point of order.

[Charlie Angus, NDP, Timmins—James Bay, ON]

You can put me down to adjourn.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Colleagues, it is 6:30 p.m. As I look across the table, I see that it looks like folks are in agreement to adjourn.

We will maintain the speaking order.

We are adjourned.
