Transport Committee on Nov. 25th, 2025

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Schiefke]

Thank you very much.

We'll go to the vote as—

[Dan Albas, Conservative, Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna, BC]

No, I would like to speak now please.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Schiefke]

Mr. Albas—

[Dan Albas, Conservative, Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna, BC]

This is my right as a member of this committee, sir.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Schiefke]

—I clearly called the vote.

[Dan Albas, Conservative, Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna, BC]

I will be raising this with the Speaker. I would like other people to have their right to speak here, Mr. Chair.

Could you please show the decency and the impartiality of your position? I had my hand up with intent. This is not the time for you to be doing that. You should be giving members the opportunity to speak to a motion. I raised multiple points of order, which you dealt with. I accept those rulings now, but I would like to have the opportunity to say my piece on this, and I will keep talking, Mr. Chair, because I believe it is.... I'm going to take the floor, and I'm going to simply talk about the motion itself.

First of all, I talked earlier about the committee—

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Schiefke]

Mr. Albas, you're out of order—

[Dan Albas, Conservative, Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna, BC]

—and I would like to start by talking—

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Schiefke]

—and you do not have the floor. I did not give you the floor. I gave you the floor and—

[Dan Albas, Conservative, Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna, BC]

This is reprehensible for a chair.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Schiefke]

—your time was up. We are going to a vote.

I'm instructing the clerk to go to a vote.

[Dan Albas, Conservative, Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna, BC]

I'm protesting this, Mr. Chair. I would like to have the opportunity to speak.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Schiefke]

You can protest.

[Dan Albas, Conservative, Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna, BC]

This is the opposition, Mr. Chair. You need to be able to listen to it—

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Schiefke]

Mr. Albas, the vote has been called. You may not agree with it, but the vote has been called.

[Dan Albas, Conservative, Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna, BC]

I said earlier, Mr. Chair, that I would be making my points of order, and then I would like to be on the list to speak.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Schiefke]

Mr. Albas, the vote has been called—

[Dan Albas, Conservative, Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna, BC]

The vote has not been called. I am continuing—

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Schiefke]

—and if you continue to disrupt this meeting, I will ask that you be removed because you are—

[Dan Albas, Conservative, Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna, BC]

You can remove me then. Please remove me then, if that is the case. If this is the kind of chairmanship you represent, sir, where you're not going to let me—

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Schiefke]

Mr. Albas—

[An hon. member]

Oh, oh!

[Dan Albas, Conservative, Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna, BC]

—speak directly to the motion, that is wrong, and that is intolerable—

[Mike Kelloway, Liberal, Sydney—Glace Bay, NS]

I have a point of order.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Schiefke]

Mr. Albas, I have been very—
