Status of Women Committee on May 16th, 2019

[The Chair, Conservative, Karen Vecchio]

We cannot use the past tense. We have to move forward from the motion.

[Rachael Thomas, Conservative, Lethbridge, AB]

Sure.

I think there's a huge opportunity there, going forward. I would hope that we can revisit this motion and that the minister would agree to come to brief this committee. I would hope the members would also agree to that going forward.

[Salma Zahid, Liberal, Scarborough Centre, ON]

I have a point of order.

[The Chair, Conservative, Karen Vecchio]

Go ahead, Salma.

[Salma Zahid, Liberal, Scarborough Centre, ON]

The motion is done, so we cannot go further into it.

[The Chair, Conservative, Karen Vecchio]

Okay.

You have 30 more seconds.

[Rachael Thomas, Conservative, Lethbridge, AB]

That is all I have to say.

[The Chair, Conservative, Karen Vecchio]

Thank you.

[Maryam Monsef, Liberal, Peterborough—Kawartha, ON]

Madam Chair, LGBTQ2 rights—

[The Chair, Conservative, Karen Vecchio]

Excuse me.

[Maryam Monsef, Liberal, Peterborough—Kawartha, ON]

—are part of the new mandate. I'm happy to talk about it in question period.

[The Chair, Conservative, Karen Vecchio]

Excuse me. I have the floor.

[Salma Zahid, Liberal, Scarborough Centre, ON]

Wow. Why are you...?

[The Chair, Conservative, Karen Vecchio]

One moment.

I have the floor, as the chair.

[Salma Zahid, Liberal, Scarborough Centre, ON]

I have a point of order.

[The Chair, Conservative, Karen Vecchio]

I will give you the point of order.

I would ask that I not be interrupted when I am speaking. It does not matter if somebody is a minister or a member. I have the right, and when I ask someone to stop, I ask them to stop.

Thank you.

[Maryam Monsef, Liberal, Peterborough—Kawartha, ON]

Okay.

[The Chair, Conservative, Karen Vecchio]

I'm going to go over to Kellie Leitch, and then back to Salma.

[Kellie Leitch, Conservative, Simcoe—Grey, ON]

I have one quick question, Minister.

With respect to violence on campus, one of the items that has been—

[The Chair, Conservative, Karen Vecchio]

We have a point of order from Salma.

[Salma Zahid, Liberal, Scarborough Centre, ON]

[Inaudible—Editor]

[The Chair, Conservative, Karen Vecchio]

It's a comment. Okay. Good. We're fine.

[Kellie Leitch, Conservative, Simcoe—Grey, ON]

Okay. Thank you very much.

One of the Status of Women mandates of focus has been dealing with gender-based violence on campus. It was a substantive issue when I was a minister—

[Rachel Bendayan, Liberal, Outremont, QC]

I have a point of order, Madam Chair.

The five minutes are now over.

[The Chair, Conservative, Karen Vecchio]

In the last five minutes, we have had to stop multiple times. Any time there's a motion, or anything like that, I've asked the clock to stop. That has been granted to both sides. Thank you. I'm perfectly aware of the time, as I have stopped it during those times. Thank you.

Go ahead, Kellie.
