Debates of Dec. 7th, 2023

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2023-24

[Kerry-Lynne Findlay, Conservative, South Surrey—White Rock, BC]

Mr. Speaker, it would help if they did not shut me down while I am trying to make myself clear to you.

The Liberal members for London West and Scarborough—Agincourt have both taken photographs in the House and posted them on social media. They have remained standing on their social media now for the past couple of hours. This is clearly against the rules of the House. We all know those rules. I ask you, Mr. Speaker, to tell them that they must take those down immediately.

[The Deputy Speaker, Chris d'Entremont]

I thank the hon. member for bringing that to the attention of the House.

The hon. members know full well that we are not supposed to be using our cameras to take pictures inside the chamber. This has happened on a number of occasions from all sides, and I would suggest that the hon. members should be deleting those off of their social media pages and off of their phones. We will go back to make sure that happens immediately.
