Natural Resources Committee on Oct. 25th, 2023

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

I know because his hand was up.

[Jeremy Patzer, Conservative, Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK]

He wanted to speak to the motion on the list. There is a speaking list for the motion.

He raised it after. He didn't say “point of order” until after—

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

I don't know for sure.

As chair, I have the discretion to acknowledge that point of order, and I will go to you if you have a point of order.

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

You haven't heard from him yet, so how do you know what his point of order is going to be?

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Go ahead, Mr. Angus, on the point of order of Monsieur Simard.

[Jeremy Patzer, Conservative, Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK]

Point of order, Mr. Chair.

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

[Inaudible—Editor] and I hope I won't be intimidated by the rat pack.

[Jeremy Patzer, Conservative, Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK]

Point of order, Mr. Chair.

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

Mr. Simard placed a very—

[Jeremy Patzer, Conservative, Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK]

Point of order.

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

I would like to speak to his point. Bill C-69 was not—

[Jeremy Patzer, Conservative, Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK]

Point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Mr. Angus, can you just hold on for one second?

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

It's not a bill; it's been in law. This is what you guys have to get straight.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Colleagues, I addressed your point of order.

I have not heard Mr. Angus's point of order yet because, once again—

[Jeremy Patzer, Conservative, Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK]

I'm raising a point of order on his comments here, Mr. Chair.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

You actually raised a point of order prior to him making his comments.

[Jeremy Patzer, Conservative, Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK]

It was to Mr. Simard first and foremost, before Mr. Angus—

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Mr. Patzer, you do not have the floor.

[Jeremy Patzer, Conservative, Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK]

I have a point of order, though.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

You will get the floor once Mr. Angus's point of order is heard. You can object to his point of order.

Okay. That's what I rule.

I'm going to—

[Ted Falk, Conservative, Provencher, MB]

Mr. Chair, I actually raised a point of order on what Mr. Angus was saying.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

It's the same thing. We have to hear what he said first.

[Ted Falk, Conservative, Provencher, MB]

No, Mr. Chair, first he has to correct his language. The absolute first thing we have to do is correct his language.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Mr. Angus has the floor.

Mr. Angus, I'm going to ask you to speak on the point of order so you can be clear, and if our other colleagues have a point of order on your point of order, they can raise it at that time.

Let's give Mr. Angus an opportunity to say what his point of order is, because I still haven't heard it.

Go ahead, Mr. Angus.
