Natural Resources Committee on Oct. 30th, 2023

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

On a point of order, I think we have a problem with the voting issue.

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

On a point of order, Chair, we just want to know who the voting members of the committee are at this moment, please.

Thank you.

[Thomas Bigelow, Committee Clerk]

Currently I have at the table sitting down Mr. Aldag, Ms. Dabrusin, Mr. Badawey, Madam Lapointe, Mr. Sorbara, Mr. Dreeshen, Mr. Lake, Mr. Patzer, Ms. Stubbs, Mr. Simard and now Mr. Angus.

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

If the official member of the committee is in the room, that's the person who gets the vote, not the substitute. That last vote was a void vote.

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

I vote yes, then.

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

Again with the whole rules thing, I'm sure the chair will figure it out. He's asking for the rules.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

The colleague was at the table when the vote was started and was eligible to vote.

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

It's in the room. The rule says in the room, not at the table.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

We will now proceed to CPC-89.

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

I challenge that ruling, Chair. It's inadmissible.

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

You can't just make stuff up. It's all on camera.

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

I challenge this ruling as well.

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

What is happening?

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

We are proceeding to CPC-89.

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

On a point of order, Mr. Chair, I challenge your ruling on the eligible member from the NDP.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

There are new elements to the preamble. We have a challenge to CPC-89 that is inadmissible. To sustain the chair's ruling, there's a challenge.

Mr. Patzer challenged. Please proceed with the vote to sustain the chair's ruling on CPC-89.

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

This was the challenge, Mr. Chair, on the ruling of whether or not the member from Timmins—James Bay was around the table or in the room. That's what the challenge was. It's pretty obvious.

[Thomas Bigelow]

The question is on the chair's ruling of CPC-89, sir.

(Ruling of the chair sustained: yeas 7; nays 4)

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

We will go to NDP-13.

Shall NDP-13 carry?

[An hon. member]

I request a recorded vote.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

We're on CPC-90, which is inadmissible.

[An hon. member]

I challenge the chair.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

(Ruling of the chair sustained [See Minutes of Proceedings])

[Mike Lake, Conservative, Edmonton—Wetaskiwin, AB]

I have a point of order, Mr. Chair.
