Public Accounts Committee on Aug. 7th, 2024

[The Chair, Conservative, John Williamson]

Pardon me?

[Larry Brock, Conservative, Brantford—Brant, ON]

She has withdrawn it.

[The Chair, Conservative, John Williamson]

You've withdrawn it. Thank you.

[Iqra Khalid, Liberal, Mississauga—Erin Mills, ON]

I'll take it back, Chair. Thank you.

[The Chair, Conservative, John Williamson]

Mr. Barrett, you have 40 seconds left.

[Michael Barrett, Conservative, Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, ON]

I'm delighted she found a copy of the green book.

[Iqra Khalid, Liberal, Mississauga—Erin Mills, ON]

I'm sorry, Chair. I'm not sure why Mr. Barrett needs to make such snide remarks. [Inaudible—Editor] comments.

[An hon. member]

Is this the point of order?

[The Chair, Conservative, John Williamson]

All right, let's—

[Michael Barrett, Conservative, Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, ON]

Maybe she didn't find a copy of the green book after all.

[The Chair, Conservative, John Williamson]

Ladies and gentlemen, we're getting through the meeting. If we stay on track, we'll have everyone out of here very shortly.

Mr. Barrett, you have 40 seconds.

[Michael Barrett, Conservative, Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, ON]

It's fascinating that Ms. Khalid wants to paint a picture—

[Iqra Khalid, Liberal, Mississauga—Erin Mills, ON]

No, no, no, you can't—

[The Chair, Conservative, John Williamson]

No—

[Iqra Khalid, Liberal, Mississauga—Erin Mills, ON]

No, Mr. Chair, he can't be representing me at this—

[The Chair, Conservative, John Williamson]

Hold on.

Ms. Khalid—

[Michael Barrett, Conservative, Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, ON]

[Inaudible—Editor] she knew.

[The Chair, Conservative, John Williamson]

Ms. Khalid, Mr. Barrett can tee off his questions to the witness however he likes. You were the one who stuck your neck out a little bit. While I appreciate your withdrawing your point of order, Mr. Barrett has the floor for a short 40 seconds, which is longer than we've been discussing this point for.

Mr. Barrett, you have 40 seconds, please.

[Michael Barrett, Conservative, Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, ON]

Ms. Khalid wanted to make the point, Ms. Daly, that it's just the public servants like you who are solely responsible for this—

[Larry Brock, Conservative, Brantford—Brant, ON]

I have a point of order, Chair.

[The Chair, Conservative, John Williamson]

Yes. I am—

[Larry Brock, Conservative, Brantford—Brant, ON]

I have just witnessed Ms. Khalid, under her breath, use the words “eff you”. I'm not going to use the full term for that, but it was very, very clear to me. I can look at her, literally within five feet, and I'm asking her to reflect on what she said, apologize and withdraw.

[The Chair, Conservative, John Williamson]

Ms. Khalid, I did not catch anything. Do you have any comment you'd like to make?

[Iqra Khalid, Liberal, Mississauga—Erin Mills, ON]

Mr. Chair, I'm not sure if you want to consult Hansard or what the testimony has been or what's been recorded, but I think Mr. Brock is getting a little bit ahead of himself.

[Larry Brock, Conservative, Brantford—Brant, ON]

Oh, come on.
