Government Orders
I remind members not to speak directly to one another. They should speak to the Chair and through the Chair when speaking to individuals. I will let the hon. member for Brantford—Brant finish up the last 30 seconds of his speech.
Government Orders
I know we have a point of order, but I will bring up that members cannot say whether a member is in the chamber or not, and they cannot speak directly to a person and must speak through the Chair. Those are some basic rules that we follow in the House of Commons, and I want to remind everyone of them. Questions and comments, the hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader.
Government Orders
We all need to remind ourselves that the Standing Orders of the House of Commons are really important to us, and we should all follow them as closely as possible. The hon. member for Brantford—Brant.
Government Orders
That is not a point of order, and I would invite everyone to step outside and have a discussion if they need to, because we want to keep up with what is going on here in the House of Commons. The hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader.
Government Orders
Order. The hon. member knows full well that he is not supposed to use the proper names of the members, so he can say “the member of the opposition”, “the Leader of the Opposition” or whatever he wants to do. The hon. parliamentary secretary.
Government Orders
Order, please. There is a point of order.
Government Orders
That is descending into a bit of debate. I just want to make sure everybody is ready. The hon. member for Yukon has the floor.
Government Orders
Order. 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 Saanich—Gulf Islands, The Environment; the hon. member for Vancouver East, Housing; the hon. member for Kitchener Centre, Climate Change.
Government Orders
That is a very good point. The microphones are on our desks. If papers or phones are put near the microphones, it gives the interpreters trouble. Resuming debate. The hon. member for Wellington—Halton Hills.
Government Orders
When a subamendment is moved in the House, it must relate to the content of the amendment. The subamendment moved by the hon. member for Drummond introduces a new measure that goes beyond the scope of the amendment. Therefore, the subamendment is not in order. Questions and comments, the hon. parliamentary secretary.
Routine Proceedings
Is that agreed?
Government Orders
I must interrupt the member for a moment. There seems to be a problem with the audio.
Government Orders
It may be because there is a telephone too close to the microphone. The hon. member for Drummond.
Government Orders
The hon. member for Dufferin—Caledon is rising on a point of order.
Government Orders
I will have a look at the Hansards to see what context it was used in. I thank you for that. The hon. member for New Westminster—Burnaby.

Private Members' Business
I declare the motion carried. Accordingly, the bill stands referred to the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. (Bill read the second time and referred to a committee)
Government Orders
I declare the motion defeated. I wish to inform the House that because of the deferred recorded division, Government Orders will be extended by 13 minutes.
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.
Oral Questions
Order, please. Can a member answer their own question? Let me talk to the people at the table for just one moment and I will come back. After consulting with the table, a member cannot answer their own question, so the first person to stand up gets the opportunity to answer that question. The hon. government House leader.
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.
It is my duty to inform the House that a vacancy has occurred in the representation, namely Candice Bergen, member for the electoral district of Portage—Lisgar, by resignation effective Tuesday, February 28. Pursuant to paragraph 25(1)(b) of the Parliament of Canada Act, the Speaker has addressed a warrant to the Chief Electoral Officer for the issue of a writ for the election of a member to fill … Read full speechShow less

Oral Questions
Order, order. The hon. minister, from the top.
Government Orders
It being 3:13 p.m., pursuant to order made on Thursday, June 23, 2022, the House will now proceed to the taking of the deferred recorded division on the motion relating to the business of supply. Call in the members. And the bells having rung:
Government Orders
The question is on the motion. May I dispense?
Government Orders
[Chair read text of motion to House]
Government Orders
I will refer to it at a later point, but I will go to the hon. member for Perth—Wellington on the same point of order.
Government Orders
It is not often we get to bring out House of Commons Procedure and Practice, but I thought we would do that. On the same page that was quoted, in the section “Questions Concerning Matters Before Committees”, footnote 92 cites pages 10,207 and 10,208: On occasion, questions directed to committee Chairs have been answered by Ministers and points of order have been raised.

It is not often we get to bring out House of Commons Procedure and Practice, but I thought we would do that. On the same page that was quoted, in the section “Questions Concerning Matters Before Committees”, footnote 92 cites pages 10,207 and 10,208: On occasion, questions directed to committee Chairs have been answered by Ministers and points of order have been raised. For example, during Question Period, opposition Members twice addressed questions to the Chair of a standing committee and the Government House Leader responded.... In the 2008 example, the Liberal House Leader rose the following day on a point of order and asked the Speaker if someone other than the Chair of a committee could respond to a question concerning the agenda of a committee. The Speaker advised that his role is to “take a look at those who are standing to answer and choose who is going to answer”. I can say that during today's session, no hands went up on Zoom and no other vice-chair stood up. The person who asked the question could not answer the question. Therefore, the government House leader was the one who got to answer that question, because he did stand to answer it. However, we will look at it further. I do not want to be revising this book, so it is probably going to stand, but we will have a further look at it as well. I appreciate the interest. The hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader.
Government Orders
It is getting too deeply in the weeds, but yes, the questions have to be based on the agenda of the committee at hand. I appreciate that intervention as well.
Adjournment Proceedings
The hon. parliamentary secretary.
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 7:13 p.m.)
Oral Questions
That was the one real point of order that we actually had. However, happy birthday to the member for St. Catharines. We also have a point of order from the hon. member for Fredericton.
Oral Questions
I agree, there was a lot of noise at that time. Does the hon. member have consent?
Oral Questions
The hon. member for Mégantic—L'Érable.
Oral Questions
I see the hon. member for North Island—Powell River.
Oral Questions
There was an exchange happening while the member was delivering her statement. The member for Windsor West and the member for Nickel Belt were having a conversation, which was in close proximity to the member's position. The hon. member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes.
Government Orders
The member cannot use the name of a member even in a quote. The hon. member for Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge.
Government Orders
It is working now. The hon. member for Joliette can repeat his question.
Government Orders
There is a point of order from the hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader.
Government Orders
I will remind members that we cannot refer to members of the House of Commons by their proper names and that we need to go by riding names. I suggest the member should retract that and use the correct terminology. The hon. member Northumberland—Peterborough South has the floor.
