Natural Resources Committee on Oct. 30th, 2023

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

No, you made that up.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Mr. Genuis, if you would like the floor, you can identify to me now and we will ensure that you will have your opportunity to participate like all other members.

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

And you'll cut me off partway through—

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

All members on this committee—

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

—because you've had enough. That's not how it works.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

—have the right—

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

There are rules.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

If you would like to participate, you can identify that you would like to participate and we can proceed to make sure you can when your turn comes.

If colleagues would like to change the order so that Mr. Angus is not the next speaker, then you can challenge the chair and present who it should be. This is what's been—

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

Chair, that's not how it goes in a 4-H meeting—

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

I have a point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

There are rules and the chair's job is to uphold the rules.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Order.

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

I have a point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

I will ask one member at time particularly not to speak when I'm trying to provide a ruling and information to committee members.

Mr. Patzer, we'll go to your point of order. Then we have a point of order from Mr. Angus.

Mr. Patzer, go ahead.

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

I think it's quite clear how this is supposed to go. You shouldn't have to challenge the chair every single time there's merely a simple question around how we finished the last meeting.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Mr. Patzer, that's not a point of order.

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

That's what it comes down to.

Yes, it is a point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

It's not a point of order.

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

It sure is.

[Garnett Genuis, Conservative, Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB]

Mr. Chair, you said one person at a time.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Okay. I will, but—
