Mr. Speaker, on the same point of order, I was in that committee meeting. The chair did indeed pause after the final person had spoken, and he looked around the room. He then called the question, as was his right, because no other member had raised their hand.
After that, it was challenged by the member, but all opposition members, including from the Bloc and the NDP, confirmed the chair's ruling. Therefore, since committees are responsible for their own affairs, the committee itself, a majority from all parties, confirmed the chair did act appropriately. I will claim that I did not see the member raise her hand, nor did anyone else around that table.
