Official Languages Committee on Oct. 29th, 2024

[Joël Godin, Conservative, Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, QC]

When I raise a point of order, Mr. Chair, you have to stop everything and allow me to speak.

[Angelo Iacono, Liberal, Alfred-Pellan, QC]

I would appreciate it if my colleague opposite would give me a chance to finish what I was saying.

[The Chair, Liberal, René Arseneault]

Wait a minute.

Mr. Iacono, you have the floor; it's true. However, when a point of order is raised, I momentarily halt proceedings to listen to the member who raised it. I will come back to you later.

Go ahead, Mr. Godin.

[Joël Godin, Conservative, Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, QC]

I've been a member of this committee since 2015, and my colleague has been here since 2015 too. He should understand the procedures, but that's another problem.

Mr. Chair, it's 1:00 p.m. I request that we suspend and resume debate at our next meeting. Unfortunately, I had an amendment to move, but I haven't had the time to do so. I move that we stop for today and postpone discussion to the next meeting.

[The Chair, Liberal, René Arseneault]

Allow me a few seconds.

I believe I have previously proceeded by unanimous consent. I have adjourned meetings for technical reasons so we could resume exactly where we had left off on the list. Does everyone consider that suitable?

Adjourning a sitting terminates the meeting, but we will nevertheless resume where we left off, as though we had merely suspended. We are proceeding in this manner for technical reasons. I want to confirm that this will be stated in the notice of the next meeting.

On the list, I have Mr. Iacono, who will complete his remarks, then Mr. Godin and Ms. Gladu. I see that everyone is in agreement.

Ms. Ashton, did you raise your hand? No? That's fine. We will therefore resume exactly where we left off.

We are adjourned.
