Parliamentary Speeches

Private Members' Business

Order. The way I look at it is that, the more we interrupt the hon. member, the longer we have to listen to the speeches, and the longer it will take to get through PMB. The hon. parliamentary secretary has the floor.

Government Orders

In 1994, I was engaged to be married. The hon. member for La Pointe-de-l'Île.

I would like to assure the hon. member that we have been stopping the clock the whole time. He will have all the time he needs. The hon. member for Timmins—James Bay has the floor.

I am now ready to rule on the questions of privilege raised on October 5 and October 16, 2023, by the member for Calgary Nose Hill concerning the government's responses to Order Paper questions and the Speaker's decision to recuse himself from this matter. While there were two different matters raised, I intend to address both of them in the ruling. As members know, to avoid any appearance of a co…

It is my duty to lay upon the table, pursuant to section 7(5) of the Auditor General Act, the fall 2023 reports of the Auditor General of Canada. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(g), this report is deemed to have been permanently referred to the Standing Committee on Public Accounts.

Routine Proceedings

Just as a reminder to all members, when we present petitions, please try to keep it as succinct as possible so that we can get as many of these in as we possibly can.

Routine Proceedings

Is that agreed?

Government Orders

Pursuant to Standing Order 67.1, there will now be a 30-minute question period. I invite hon. members who wish to ask questions to rise in their place or use the “raise hand” function so the Chair has some idea of the number of members who wish to participate in the question period. Questions and comments, the hon. member for Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan.

Government Orders

I declare the motion carried. I wish to inform the House that because of the proceedings on the time allocation motion, Government Orders will be extended by 30 minutes.

Government Orders

Is it agreed?

Government Orders

I am just trying to keep people to the topic at hand and to make sure everybody gets to participate. The hon. Minister of Labour.

I want to remind folks to speak through the Chair. The word “you” has been used a lot. I would ask members to try to mitigate what is happening by talking through the Speaker. Questions and comments, the hon. member for Kingston and the Islands.

Government Orders

It is my duty to interrupt the proceedings at this time to put forthwith the question on the motion now before the House. The question is on the motion.

Government Orders

Call in the members.

Government Orders

Order, please. Someday I will get back to my Nova Scotia riding in West Nova. The hon. parliamentary secretary.

Government Orders

Before we continue on debate, I suggest all members look at their phones. There is an email that would have gone out from the Speaker's office about decorum in this House of Commons to make sure that we follow those rules, try to get along better and try not to accuse people of things. The hon. deputy House leader.

Government Orders

There were lots of words in here. I just want to say that people can take time to actually review it and maybe the hon. member for Timmins—James Bay can finish up with his speech. The hon. member for Cypress Hills—Grasslands, once again.

Government Orders

That is a part of the inflammatory language that is outlined in that document. The hon. member for Timmins—James Bay.

I will ask the hon. member to answer the question because we are a little over time. The hon. member for Sturgeon River—Parkland.

The hon. member for Timmins—James Bay can continue his speech.

Government Orders

The hon. member for Sarnia—Lambton is rising on a point of order.

Government Orders

I thank the member for that. He does make a very good point when it comes to the decorum of the House and things that the Speaker wants us to think about when making speeches. Making up names occurs on all sides of the House. Maybe we should stop doing it, period. The hon. member for Timmins—James Bay.

Government Orders

I have to refer to all members in the House by their riding names, and I think maybe we should all start using our riding names when referring to one another in the House. We should be referring to the member for Carleton or the Leader of the Opposition, the member for St. Catharines, the member for Barrie—Innisfil or the member for West Nova when he is not sitting in this chair. The hon. member f…

Government Orders

We have a point of order from the hon. member for Barrie—Innisfil.

Government Orders

I urge people to have a look at the Speaker's ruling from yesterday. Again, page 8 reads, “This includes coming up with fake titles for members in order to mock them or making comments that question their courage, honesty or commitment to their country.” There is a lot of that in debates lately, so let us try to bring that debate further up. I know the hon. member for Timmins—James Bay is really w…
