Natural Resources Committee on Oct. 30th, 2023

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

I have a point of order, Mr. Chair.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Shall clause 11 carry as amended?

(Clause 11 as amended agreed to: yeas 6; nays 1)

(On clause 12)

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

Before the next vote, I have a point of order, Mr. Chair. You said you would acknowledge points of order between votes.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Mrs. Stubbs, go ahead on the point of order.

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

Mr. Chair, you have to get back to Garnett's point of order between the last votes.

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

Mr. Chair, first of all, I want to clarify your ruling that, with the adoption of CPC-30, the first amendment in CPC package A could not be moved. Is that correct?

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Thank you for your point of order. I will clarify this.

Page 769 of House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, says, “Amendments must be proposed following the order of the text to be amended. Once a line of a clause has been amended by the committee, it cannot be further amended by a subsequent amendment as a given line may be amended only once.”

Now we will—

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

Mr. Chair, I have a point of order on that.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

—proceed to CPC-32. If CPC-32 is adopted, package B cannot be moved due to a line conflict.

Shall CPC-32 carry?

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

I have a point of order.

[John Aldag, Liberal, Cloverdale—Langley City, BC]

I'd like a recorded vote, please.

(Amendment agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

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

I have a point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Shall clause 12 carry as amended?

[John Aldag, Liberal, Cloverdale—Langley City, BC]

I'd like a recorded vote, please.

(Clause 12 as amended agreed to: yeas 6; nays 5)

(On clause 13)

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

We are on CPC-33.

Mr. Patzer has a point of order.

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

You ruled that a bunch of our amendments were out of order, so I challenge your ruling.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Mr. Patzer, this is not a ruling. It is a line conflict that was explained quite clearly.

We've just had a vote and we are proceeding to CPC-33. If CPC-33 is adopted, CPC-34 cannot be moved due to a line conflict.

Shall CPC-33 carry?

[John Aldag, Liberal, Cloverdale—Langley City, BC]

I'd like a recorded vote.

(Amendment negatived: nays 11; yeas 0 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Shall CPC-34 carry?

[John Aldag, Liberal, Cloverdale—Langley City, BC]

I'd like a recorded vote, please.

[Shannon Stubbs, Conservative, Lakeland, AB]

I have a point of order, Chair.

Can you not hear us?

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

Chair, this is a flagrant violation of my privilege.

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Call the vote.

(Amendment negatived: nays 8; yeas 0 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

[The Chair, Liberal, George Chahal]

Shall LIB-4 carry?

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

Mr. Chair, we're in between votes and I have a point of order.
