You used your time to reiterate your objection to a decision made by the chair.

No, Mr. Chair. I have arguments to speak to that, but—

—and called the vote.
I'm going to ask one more time, Mr. Clerk: Please call the vote.
Conservative

No, no, Mr. Chair. I asked that my name be put on there, and it looked to me like you simply nodded, as if you would give me the ability to speak. I raised two points of order, which you dealt with, but then I thought you would simply go back to the list and allow me to speak.
Mr. Chair, we can keep going around on this all day long. I would like the ability to speak to the motion, the same way every member here should have that opportunity, but you seem to be denying me today, sir.

No, I would like to continue talking, so I'll just start, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Chair, the issue here is that the courts—

I'm going to suspend, because we've lost control of the meeting due to the comments made by Mr. Albas.
The meeting is suspended to the call of the chair.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke
I call this meeting back to order.
Colleagues, I'm going to turn it over to the clerk to explain the voting procedure. We'll have the roll call. Then—just to clarify—after we are done with the vote, we are not completed, because we still have to debate the motion as amended, if it is indeed adopted.
Members, if you want to have your hand up, please make it very clear now, before we get into any chaos. If you would like to speak at that point or after we're done, please put your hand up at that point as well.
Mr. Clerk, I turn the floor over to you, sir.

I'm assuming we're doing amendment one. Is that correct?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Schiefke
We are doing the amendment. All the changes that Mr. Lauzon had put forward are itemized. We're doing them all in one vote.

No, Mr. Chair, it's very clear, and I'm using Procedure and Practice, fourth edition: “In most cases, there is no limit on the number of amendments that may be moved; however, only one amendment or subamendment may be considered at a committee at one time.”
Conservative
Dan Albas Conservative Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna, BC
Essentially, you have one amendment that you say we're going to vote on. Are we then going to have all five of the other ones at the same time? That makes no sense.
Conservative
Dan Albas Conservative Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna, BC
You can only have one amendment or subamendment at a time.
