Debates of March 20th, 2019

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2018-19

[Luc Berthold, Conservative, Mégantic—L'Érable, QC]

Mr. Speaker, the opposition and I agree with the message about the pages. They are doing a terrific job tonight.

I would like to seek the unanimous consent of the House to give them a chance to go home and study. Their school year is not over yet. The House could let them go home if we pass the following motion: that the House call on the Prime Minister to waive full solicitor-client privilege and all Cabinet confidences to allow the member for Vancouver Granville to address events that occurred following January 14, 2019, including her time as minister of veterans affairs, her resignation from that position, and her presentation to Cabinet that followed.

By passing this motion, we could put an end to the marathon voting and let the pages go home and get some sleep.

[The Speaker, Geoff Regan]

Does the hon. member have the unanimous consent of the House to move the motion?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

No.

[Joyce Murray, Liberal, Vancouver Quadra, BC]

[The Speaker, Geoff Regan]
