Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This is my first meeting here at the committee. When Mr. Beaulieu asked for the vote, no hands were raised. With all due respect for Mr. Deschênes‑Thériault, I can tell you, Mr. Chair, that I was a spectator here, and it was his assistant behind him who was telling him to raise his hand.
In any case, a representative of his team was signalling to him to raise his hand, even though the request for the vote had already been made. There were no hands up from Mr. Deschênes‑Thériault. I think it's very clear in terms of the Standing Orders.
