Private Members' Business
All those opposed to the hon. member's request will please say nay. There being no dissenting voice, it is agreed.
Private Members' Business
That is getting into debate and that is not a point of order. The point of order was to register a vote that could not be done electronically. Resuming debate. The hon. member for Longueuil—Saint-Hubert.
Private Members' Business
The hon. member for La Prairie for his right of reply.
Private Members' Business
The question is on the motion. If a member of a recognized party present in the House wishes that the motion be carried or carried on division, or wishes to request a recorded division, I would invite them to rise and indicate it to the Chair.

Pursuant to order made on Thursday, June 23, 2022, the recorded division stands deferred until Wednesday, April 19, at the expiry of the time provided for Oral Questions.
Adjournment Proceedings
The hon. parliamentary secretary.
Routine Proceedings
I wish to inform the House that the Chair has received notice of a request for an emergency debate. I invite the hon. member for Burnaby South to make a short statement.
Routine Proceedings
We do not allow that. We will not have a debate on this. I thank the hon. member for Burnaby South for his intervention. After discussion with the Speaker, he is not satisfied that this request meets the requirements of the Standing Orders at this time.

Government Orders

Government Orders
Does the hon. member have unanimous consent?
Private Members' Business
That is very disturbing for the interpreters. Please have no phones on.
Oral Questions
The hon. member will be invited to rethink her choice of words. The hon. member will be invited to exercise judgment in the use of words, and please consider that it is not a parliamentary acceptable word. I would invite her to apologize and retract that word from the record.
Oral Questions
I asked the hon. member to be wary of the rules, and the hon. member repeated comments that he knows are against the rules. We will take one question out of the next round of Conservative questions. The hon. member for Manicouagan.
Government Orders
I have to give the minister time to answer. The hon. minister.
Government Orders
I have to give the hon. member for Mission—Matsqui—Fraser Canyon the time to answer.

The hon. Leader of the Opposition knows the rules and that we do not mention the presence or absence of members in the House.
Oral Questions
The hon. member for New Westminster—Burnaby.
Oral Questions
The hon. member Dauphin—Swan River—Neepawa.
Oral Questions
I advised members that I was going to take out the next question from the Conservatives and I am taking it out. As members know, it is the prerogative of the Chair to determine who the next speaker is, and my prerogative is to choose the hon. member for Dauphin—Swan River—Neepawa.
Oral Questions
We do not use that language in the House, as the hon. member well knows. The same thing could be said in different ways.
Oral Questions
The hon. member for Cypress Hills—Grasslands.
Oral Questions
The hon. Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change.
Oral Questions
Order, order. This will be looked at in Hansard, to answer the hon. member for Fort McMurray—Cold Lake. We will get back to the hon. member on what happened. The hon. member for Mégantic—L'Érable on a point of order.
Oral Questions
I am sorry, I did not hear what was said.
Oral Questions
Order. As I told the hon. member for Fort McMurray—Cold Lake, we will listen. I did not hear it right now. I was discussing—
Oral Questions
I do not dispute it. I am just saying that we will look at Hansard, and we will get back to the hon. member on what is found. I cannot rule on this right now. I have to wait until we look at what Hansard and the tapes will tell us.
Oral Questions
Indeed, I will continue on the point of order raised by the member for Mégantic—L'Érable regarding the list used during oral question period. The lists provided by the parties are only used as a guide. The Chair has no obligation to follow them. After I decided to take out the question, I discussed the matter with the clerks. An exchange took place with the individuals working with the official op… Read full speechShow less
Indeed, I will continue on the point of order raised by the member for Mégantic—L'Érable regarding the list used during oral question period. The lists provided by the parties are only used as a guide. The Chair has no obligation to follow them. After I decided to take out the question, I discussed the matter with the clerks. An exchange took place with the individuals working with the official opposition whip in order to reach an agreement. It is really at the Chair's discretion as to whether to follow the order on the list when taking out a question. The hon. member for Mégantic—L'Érable.
Oral Questions
The member is absolutely right. It is true that, technically, there is no list. There is just an agreement among the parties. That is why we consulted the whip's office to sort this out. Thank you. On the other point of order, the hon. member for Longueuil—Charles-LeMoyne.
Oral Questions
We are not going to debate what the initial point of order was, which is what happened during Oral Questions. It was more on the use of the words “liar” or “lies” afterward, which is truly the unparliamentary part of the issue. On the exchange that happened during question period, I did not hear what was said. We will have to go back to the recordings and Hansard. I am talking about the initial co… Read full speechShow less
We are not going to debate what the initial point of order was, which is what happened during Oral Questions. It was more on the use of the words “liar” or “lies” afterward, which is truly the unparliamentary part of the issue. On the exchange that happened during question period, I did not hear what was said. We will have to go back to the recordings and Hansard. I am talking about the initial comments. I am not talking about the word “lies”. Everybody heard that, and that is certainly not parliamentary language. The hon. member for Pontiac on the same point of order.
Oral Questions
We are not debating the issue that gave rise to the point of order, but rather what followed. That is what needs to be addressed. We will continue, and I will come back to the hon. member with a resolution.
Private Members' Business
The time provided for the consideration of Private Members' Business has now expired, and the order is dropped to the bottom of the order of precedence on the Order Paper. It being 1:41 p.m. the House stands adjourned until Monday, April 17, at 11 a.m. pursuant to Standing Orders 28(2) and 24(1). I wish everyone a happy Easter. (The House adjourned at 1:41 p.m.)
Government Orders
This is a matter for debate. The hon. member for New Westminster—Burnaby.
Government Orders
I am going to interrupt the hon. member right there. There are a lot of insults that have been flying around throughout the afternoon. I would ask the hon. member for New Westminster—Burnaby to refrain from inflaming the debate.
Government Orders
There is no debate here, as I already stated. The hon. member will bring us to the point in his time. The hon. member for North Okanagan—Shuswap.
Government Orders
The hon. member raises an important point, and we have to believe that members here represent their constituencies. I invite the hon. member for New Westminster—Burnaby to be prudent.
Private Members' Business
There being no motions at report stage, the House will now proceed, without debate, to the putting of the question on the motion to concur in the bill at report stage.
Private Members' Business
If a member of a recognized party present in the House wishes that the motion be carried or carried on division or wishes to request a recorded division, I would invite them to rise and indicate it to the Chair. The hon. member for Fleetwood—Port Kells.
Private Members' Business
The hon. member for Fleetwood—Port Kells has five minutes for his right of reply.
Private Members' Business
The question is on the motion. If a member of a recognized party present in the House wishes that the motion be carried or carried on division or wishes to request a recorded division, I would invite them to rise and indicate it to the Chair.
Private Members' Business
Is it agreed?

The hon. Leader of the Opposition.
