Natural Resources Committee on Oct. 30th, 2023

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Thank you.

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

I have a point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Just for clarity, I'm going to—

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

I have a point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Mr. Genuis, I'll come to you on the point of order, but I'm going to ask you to hold for one second, please.

Colleagues, I'm going to remind everybody, once again, that Mr. Angus does have the floor. We would like all members to be able to participate. If a member would like to participate, he or she can let us know, and we'll make sure we get to that member as we go through the speaking order.

It is, I think, incumbent on all of us to allow members to participate when they do have the floor, and when they're finished, we'll go to the next member. Therefore, I'll ask members, if they would like to speak, to let me know, and we'll make sure.... Hopefully, very quickly we can get to you to debate this important subamendment.

I'll just remind everybody that we are on the subamendment for Timmins. We have a motion on the floor. We have an amendment, and we have the subamendment on Timmins.

Mr. Angus does have the floor.

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

I have a point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Yes.

Now we'll go to the point of order by Mr. Genuis.

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

Mr. Chair, I just have a really simple question for you that I think will elucidate this matter.

Who, in your view, had the floor before Mr. Angus had it?

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Thank you for your point of order.

That's been ruled on, Mr. Genuis.

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

No, no, I'm trying to help you, Mr. Chair.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

This is not a debate.

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

I'm trying to help you get to the truth here.

Mr. Chair, who had the floor before Mr. Angus?

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Mr. Genuis, a ruling has been made—

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

No, who had the floor before Mr. Angus?

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

—at this committee and—

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

The answer is me, and I never ceded it, right?

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Mr. Genuis, thank you for your point of order.

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

This is a simple matter.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

The ruling has been made.

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

Mr. Chair, I have a number of other points of order that I was trying to raise before I was interrupted repeatedly by Mr. Angus, so I will—

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

I'll ask you to hold, Mr. Genuis.

You just made a new point of order, so if you would turn off your mike, Mr. Angus does have the floor because that's been ruled on.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

I have a point of order, Mr. Chair.

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

Mr. Chair, I'm trying to remind—

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

Mr. Chair, I have a point of order.
