Mr. Chair, we should have debate on each part of it. If we vote on the first part, then we should have a debate on the second part.

Conservative

Conservative

Dan Albas Conservative Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna, BC

Mr. Chair, how long have you given Mr. Lauzon to filibuster? I raised my hand to be part of this.

The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke

—to you, Mr. Albas. I then turned it over to the clerk for the vote.

I'm asking the clerk now to conduct the vote, as it was called.

4:05 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Albas Conservative Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna, BC

No, that is not the way it works, Mr. Chair. I'm going to continue talking.

Can someone put a...let a member be now heard?

Xavier Barsalou-Duval Bloc Pierre-Boucher—Les Patriotes—Verchères, QC

Mr. Chair, I have a point of order. The interpretation still can't be provided at this time.

Perhaps I'll take this opportunity to raise a point of order—

The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke

Okay. They're giving me the signal that there are too many people talking over each other. Colleagues, let's respect the interpreters.

Rulings have been made. I've turned it over to the clerk. It is now the clerk's job to conduct the vote.

Conservative

Dan Albas Conservative Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna, BC

Mr. Clerk, I think there has to be consensus for a vote to happen right now. A dilatory motion has not been made.

Mr. Chair, I put my hand up. You refuse to do it.
