Oral Questions

The hon. member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes has a point of order.

Oral Questions

Is it agreed?

Oral Questions

I hope this is the last one. The hon. member for Cumberland—Colchester.

Oral Questions

Is it agreed?

Oral Questions

Quickly, let us go back to the history of this. Yesterday, after the vote, the system did not log the vote for the hon. member for King—Vaughan. Therefore, it put a little tag on her vote. It was brought up by the Bloc members that the picture was not there. We did make the call that day as to whether the hon. member was online, and she was not online to be able to vote one way or another. Therefo…

Oral Questions

Again, I will say that these people should talk to those people and then come back to the floor, rather than taking more time with this issue as we go. I apologize to the member for King—Vaughan, but some chat has to take place in the back stage.

Government Orders

That is not a point of order, but it is a good point, nonetheless. The hon. member for Cloverdale—Langley City.

Private Members' Business

Pursuant to Standing Order 93, the division stands deferred until Wednesday, October 18, at the expiry of the time provided for Oral Questions. I want to wish each and every one of you a happy Thanksgiving. Have a good week with your constituents, and we will see you here on October 16. It being 2:28 p.m., the House stands adjourned until Monday, October 16, at 11 a.m., pursuant to Standing Orders…

Government Orders

I thank the member for her presentation. I trust members will respond at a later date, hopefully as quickly as possible, on this particular matter. The hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader.

Government Orders

First, the point of privilege is in order. Pending the responses that we are going to be getting from the caucuses, we will get back to the House as soon as possible.

Government Orders

I believe the member for Fredericton left the chamber before the vote was complete.

Government Orders

Do members agree to allow the vote from the hon. member for Fredericton to stand?

Government Orders

We will strike them both. I wish to inform the House that, because of the deferred recorded division, Government Orders is extended by 16 minutes.

Oral Questions

Mr. Speaker, it is a great pleasure and an honour for me to rise in the House today and say a few words to highlight the amazing career of our much appreciated colleague Michel Patrice, the deputy clerk for administration who is retiring in just a few days. Humbly let me say that I am very impressed by the breadth and diversity of Michel's career, which includes more than 30 years of hard work on …

Oral Questions

Again, I thank Mr. Patrice for his service to the House of Commons.

Government Orders

It being 3:55 p.m., the House will now proceed to the taking of the deferred recorded division on the motion at second reading stage of Bill S-12. Call in the members.

Government Orders

I declare the motion carried.

Government Orders

I am going to make two quick comments on this. First, when we are having standing votes, I would suggest that all members should try their best to stay in the chamber. If members are planning on voting on the app, they may leave the chamber as quickly as possible and stay out of the chamber until after the vote is complete. This is just a suggestion on process. Second, I did confirm with the Table…

Government Orders

While it is great to see new colleagues in the House of Commons, I would ask that they make sure their questions go through the Chair and not directly to members on the opposite side. The word “you” is always used very sparingly in this chamber. The hon. member for Berthier—Maskinongé.

Government Orders

I have nothing to say as the Chair occupant. The hon. member for Kitchener Centre.

Private Members' Business

The hon. member for Abbotsford for his right of reply.

Private Members' Business

The question is on the motion. If a member participating in person wishes that the motion be carried or carried on division, or if a member of a recognized party participating in person wishes to request a recorded division, I would invite them to rise and indicate it to the Chair.

Private Members' Business

Pursuant to Standing Order 93, the division stands deferred until Wednesday, October 18, at the expiry of the time provided for Oral Questions.

Adjournment Proceedings

The motion that the House do now adjourn is deemed to have been adopted. Accordingly, the House stands adjourned until tomorrow at 10 a.m. pursuant to Standing Order 24(1). (The House adjourned at 6:49 p.m.)

Government Orders

It is my duty pursuant to Standing Order 38 to inform the House that the questions to be raised tonight at the time of adjournment are as follows: the hon. member for Dufferin—Caledon, Carbon Pricing; the hon. member for Kitchener Centre, Electoral Reform; the hon. member for Mission—Matsqui—Fraser Canyon, Health.

Government Orders

The hon. member, with tongue in cheek, said that people might be here or might not be here. I just need to remind all members that we should not be mentioning those who might be here watching. That is a full reminder to all members of the House of Commons. The hon. member for Carlton Trail—Eagle Creek.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It is an honour for me to stand before my dear colleagues today on the traditional territory of the Algonquin Anishinabe people to say a few words on my candidacy for Speaker of the House of Commons in the ongoing 44th Parliament. I would first like to express my sincere thanks to the member of Parliament for Nipissing—Timiskaming for all the work that he accomplished as Spea…

Routine Proceedings

Is that agreed?

Government Orders

I have to interrupt the member. There is a problem with interpretation. We will pause briefly to figure out what is going on. We are now good to go. The hon. member for Kingston and the Islands.

Oral Questions

Questions are usually addressed to the government. The hon. parliamentary secretary.

Oral Questions

Order. I am really having trouble hearing the minister's answer. The hon. Minister of Housing.

Oral Questions

I know the hon. member for Timmins—James Bay really wants to ask a question. Maybe he can get on the schedule with the whip. I am hearing lots of people going back and forth. The hon. member for Cumberland—Colchester has the floor.

Oral Questions

We should make sure that we speak directly to the Chair when we do that rather than the member. The hon. member for Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo.

Oral Questions

Order, please. The hon. Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance can start again.

Private Members' Business

I wish to inform the House that because of the deferred recorded divisions, Government Orders will be extended by 38 minutes.

It being Wednesday, we will now sing O Canada, led by the member for Argenteuil—La Petite-Nation. [Members sang the national anthem]

Statements by Members

I am now ready to rule on the point of order raised yesterday by the member for Oakville North—Burlington concerning unparliamentary language. In her intervention, the member alleged that the member for Thornhill used unparliamentary language in her characterization of the government House leader. She also asked for an apology to the minister. The parliamentary secretary to the government House le…

Oral Questions

Order. I cannot hear the question. I want to be able to hear the question, and I want to be able to hear the answer as well. The hon. leader of the official opposition can back up and start again.

Government Orders

I am just going to do a review with the table and get back to the House. The proper course of action if someone is having technical difficulties is to wait until the end and bring it up. I know the hon. member was really trying hard to save us all some time.

Government Orders

Is it agreed?

Government Orders

Accordingly, the bill stands referred to the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. (Bill read the second time and referred to a committee)
