The Environment  I am going to interrupt the hon. minister. I am going to wait until everything calms down before we start up again. We started off really well and we are near the end. Let us see if we can make it extend a bit. Hon. minister, please proceed.

National Defence  The hon. minister.

Revocation of the Declaration of a Public Order Emergency  Before proceeding, I would like to draw the House's attention to an unusual situation. Members will note that a motion for revocation of the declaration of a public order emergency was filed with the Chair on February 21, in accordance with subsection 59(1) of the Emergencies Act.

Revocation of the Declaration of a Public Order Emergency  The House will soon begin Private Members' Business for the first time in this Parliament. I would therefore like to make a brief statement to remind all members about the procedures governing Private Members' Business and the responsibilities of the Chair in the management of this process.

Business of the House  All those opposed to the hon. minister's moving the motion will please say nay. It is agreed to. The House has heard the terms of the motion. All those opposed to the motion will please say nay. (Motion agreed to)

Point of Order  The hon. member for New Westminster—Burnaby is absolutely right. When members rise to speak in the House or from their homes, they must use the equipment approved by the House. The member for Northwest Territories worked with our technicians to get a microphone that works for him.

Point of Order  All those opposed to the hon. member moving the motion will please say nay.

Post-Secondary Education  I am afraid that is all time we have for today. I know this week has been very difficult, very emotional and very heated, and I want to thank members for today because it was very nice to see everyone being respectful.

Public Safety  Order. The hon. member for Calgary Forest Lawn.

Indigenous Affairs  Points of orders are not allowed, except on technical matters. I would like to remind members that interpretation services are provided in the House. There is accommodation that takes place in the chamber. Sometimes, technically, it does not always work. We had everything tested and it worked out fairly well.

Indigenous Affairs  I would ask for a bit of understanding and compassion so we can all work together in the House.

Public Safety  The hon. member for Elgin—Middlesex—London.

Points of Order  I am now ready to rule on the point of order raised yesterday by the House leader of the official opposition concerning today's statutory debate being held pursuant to the Emergencies Act. In his intervention, the member asked for the Chair's interpretation of the provisions found in subsection 58(6) of the act, which state that the motion is to be debated “without interruption”.

Points of Order  I want to thank the hon. member for that point of order. I will be coming back to the House as quickly as possible with a ruling. I wish to inform the House that because of the deferred recorded division, Government Orders will be extended by 12 minutes.

Old Age Security Act  I declare the motion carried. Accordingly, the bill stands referred to a committee of the whole. Pursuant to the order made on Tuesday, February 15, 2022, Bill C-12, an act to amend the Old Age Security Act (Guaranteed Income Supplement) is deemed considered in the committee of the whole, deemed reported without amendment, deemed concurred in at report stage, deemed read a third time and passed.
