Before I go to the next speaker, I want to take a couple of moments to welcome some new faces we have in the House of Commons today. If members notice, a number of new pages have joined us, all of them of a new crop in 2022.

If members see pages they have not seen before, introduce yourselves to say hello, because we are really glad to have them here helping us out in the House of Commons. Continuing debate, the hon. member for Calgary Nose Hill.
Government Orders
Since no one else wants to speak, I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day. Have a great summer to members who may not be here later on. Is the House ready for the question?

Routine Proceedings
It is my duty to lay upon the table, pursuant to subsection 117(2) of the Pay Equity Act, the pay equity commissioner's report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. Pursuant to Standing Order 32(5), this report is deemed permanently referred to the Standing Committee on the Status of Women.

Routine Proceedings
Again, I will pass that on to the other occupants of this great chair. The hon. member for Aurora—Oak Ridges—Richmond Hill.
Routine Proceedings
I thank the hon. member for the intervention. I think West Nova is the best riding, or maybe Avalon. On that point of order, there are a whole bunch of them.

Routine Proceedings
There is a point of order from the hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader (Senate).

Is that agreed?

I thank the member for his intervention. Knowing that the House may be rising soon, I know the Speaker will be trying hard to come up with a response as soon as possible.
Government Orders
I have consulted with the Table, and all members trying to join us can now do so. All members present in the House or online can do so. We will be able to resume with at least one speech, and we could return to the House after finding a solution. The hon. member for Elmwood—Transcona.
Private Members' Business
Let us give it a second to make the count. And the count having been taken:

Private Members' Business
The parliamentary secretary to the government House leader is rising on a point of order.
Private Members' Business
I welcome the member's input on this matter. I will also caution folks that we need to stick to the bill as best we can, but we do provide a lot of leeway in those discussions. The hon. member for Edmonton West.
Private Members' Business
I believe we have a point of order from the hon. member for Fort McMurray—Cold Lake.
Private Members' Business
The member has seven minutes and 29 seconds remaining.
Private Members' Business
I will say that as a chair occupants, we really appreciate single-word ridings, like Avalon, Provencher, Durham and Montcalm. It always makes it good. The hon. member for Perth—Wellington.
Private Members' Business
The time provided for the consideration of Private Members' Business has now expired. This bill is dropped to the bottom of the order of precedence on the Order Paper.
Government Orders
Order. The member for Perth—Wellington on a point of order.
Government Orders
I thank the member for the intervention. We will continue to investigate what is going on. We will continue for now. I would ask members to inform the Chair if there are technical problems with the interpretation or with our Zoom system.
Government Orders
The hon. member has at least 30 seconds.
Government Orders
Okay, we are getting into debate. The hon. member for Elmwood—Transcona on the point of order.
Government Orders
I do not want to go too far into debate here, because I do want to confer with the Table officers. The hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader.

We are hearing that we are having troubles. We have a couple of dashboards that are not working. I believe the dashboards of the Conservative caucus and the NDP caucus are not working. We are having trouble with some Internet. We have one committee that is meeting. ParlVU is apparently not working. One committee has to decided not to restart. We do have a number of issues happening in the precinct. In some cases the Internet is working and in some cases it is not. We will look to see if there is a way to solve it. I know many of us would probably pull the plug on the modem and plug it back in and hope for the best, but the system is probably a little more robust than that. We can maybe continue with the next speaker. I will come back to the floor with an update of what we are finding across the precinct, if that is okay with members. I am just going to look for a nod. The hon. House leader for the official opposition.
Government Orders
Let us do that. The hon. member for Rivière‑des‑Mille‑Îles.
Government Orders
Let us do this: Let us suspend for a few moments to find out. If we cannot seem to find the solution, we will proceed according to the order of the Speaker.
Government Orders
We will suspend for five minutes. (The sitting of the House was suspended at 7:28 p.m.)
Government Orders
Order. I would like to inform members that we are still having trouble with the network. There is an estimation this will not be solved this evening, so I am wondering if we can come up with an agreement. The hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader.
Government Orders
All those opposed to the hon. member's moving the motion, please say nay. Hearing no dissenting voice, it is agreed. The House has heard the terms of the motion. All those opposed to the motion, please say nay. The House is therefore adjourned until tomorrow at 2 p.m., pursuant to Standing Order 24(1). (The House adjourned at 8:55 p.m.)
Government Orders
I must interrupt the member. It seems there was a problem with the interpretation, but it is working now. The hon. member for Drummond can restart his question.
Government Orders
The amendment is in order. For questions and comments, we will go to the hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader.
Government Orders
Order. We have a point of order from the hon. member for Perth—Wellington.
Government Orders
I thank the member for the interruption. It is not a point of order. I will recognize the hon. member for Brampton Centre.
