Parliamentary Speeches

Orders of the Day

I think we are all having good fun, and I do not think this is causing any disturbances, but it is really important that members try to not attach labels to other members. It is important to conduct ourselves with respect. The hon. member.

Statements by Members

Before we continue with question period, I would like to point out to members that the Chair was generous today with many members from all parties who had gone over their 60 seconds. So that we can start on time, I ask all members to be mindful and to try to get their statements within 60 seconds. The hon. member for Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo.

Oral Questions

Before I recognize the hon. member for La Prairie, I would like to remind the hon. member for New Westminster—Burnaby not to speak unless he has been recognized by the Chair.

Oral Questions

I will ask members again not to take the floor when they are not recognized. I have asked the member for South Shore—St. Margarets to do that on some occasions this week, and I will also ask the member for Calgary Signal Hill to please do the same. We all want to hear the question from the hon. member for Northumberland—Peterborough South, who has the floor.

Oral Questions

Question period comes to an end. I see a number of people on their feet; I assume they are rising for points of order.

Oral Questions

I see that the hon. Leader of the Government in the House of Commons is rising on her feet on the same point of order.

Oral Questions

Order. I hate to interrupt the hon. member, but I am going to ask the hon. member for Grande Prairie—Mackenzie to please not take the floor. A member raised a point of order. Another member was responding. It is important that we hear what the hon. member says. I do not know if the government House leader has anything to finish from before I cut her off. If the hon. government House leader has not…

Routine Proceedings

Routine Proceedings

We will resume. The Chair would like to make a statement regarding the current supply period, ending December 10, 2024. Since September 26, 2024, the House has been seized with privilege motions. As stated in Standing Order 48(1), “Whenever any matter of privilege arises, it shall be taken into consideration immediately.” Accordingly, any potential breach of privilege or contempt of the House must…

Routine Proceedings

I thank the hon. member for La Prairie for his intervention. We seem to be on the same wavelength. I encourage all my colleagues, especially those responsible for conducting negotiations between all the political parties here in the House of Commons, to make arrangements to reconcile these two fundamental aspects of the House's duties. I thank all members for their attention.

Orders of the Day

Before I recognize the hon. member for Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound for his response, I would like to reassure the member that we are aware of the situation and we are trying to fix it. The hon. member for Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound.

Orders of the Day

The hon. member for Edmonton Griesbach will forgive me. Because of the transition, he is right; I did not go in the right order. I am realizing that now. I assure the hon. member that he will have an opportunity to ask a question. The hon. member for Winnipeg North.

Orders of the Day

I would like to present my apologies to the member for Coast of Bays—Central—Notre Dame. Indeed, he was correct; it was Thursday, September 26, that the ruling came in from the Speaker.

Orders of the Day

I am going to ask members to be very careful in their choice of words and in the way they treat each other. It is very important for us to do so. I see the hon. member for Edmonton Griesbach is rising on a point of order.

Orders of the Day

That is now entering into debate, but the first point the hon. member made was a point the Speaker had also just made, which is the importance of having respect and decorum in this place. The hon. member from Calgary Confederation, or rather, Calgary Centre.

Orders of the Day

I thank the hon. member. I can understand how temperatures can get high. I would hope that all members extend their full respect and decorum to all members in this place. We should never presume what people are feeling. Questions and comments, the hon. member for Windsor West.

Adjournment Proceedings

I would just like to remind the hon. parliamentary secretary that we are not to mention the proper names of current members of the House of Commons. Once again, I would remind staffers who are listening to please do a better job in making sure that, when they provide information, they respect the traditions and rules of Parliament.

Adjournment Proceedings

The motion to adjourn the House is now 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 7:14 p.m.)

Oral Questions

I draw the attention of hon. members to the presence in the gallery of Judith Suminwa Tuluka, Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Oral Questions

Order. Colleagues, the more time we spend here with the Chair interrupting the process so that we get order in the House, the fewer questions and answers we will be able to have in question period, so I ask that members please control themselves today. The right hon. Prime Minister, from the top.

Oral Questions

I thank the hon. member from Winnipeg Centre for that substantive addition to the ruling yesterday. I will, of course, consider carefully what the member raised. There are two more points of order, the first being from the hon. member for Kingston and the Islands, who rose to his feet earlier.

It being Wednesday, we will now have the singing of the national anthem led by the hon. member for South Okanagan—West Kootenay. [Members sang the national anthem]

Oral Questions

I know that certain comments cause a disturbance in the House, but I will ask all members to be careful about the language they use. The hon. Leader of the Opposition.

Oral Questions

Order. Colleagues, the member is close to the Chair and I cannot hear the question. I am going to ask the hon. member to start his question from the top. Let us not waste more time on any more interventions from the Chair so we can get through question period expeditiously. The hon. member for Brampton Centre, from the top, please.

Oral Questions

I ask the hon. member for St. Albert—Edmonton to please keep his counsel until he is recognized by the Chair to speak. The right hon. Prime Minister.

Oral Questions

I thank the hon. member for Drummond. He raises a very good point. Once again, it requires the full co-operation of all members of all political parties to demonstrate respect for one another. We have to listen and let members give their statements in the House. The same goes for points of order.

Oral Questions

The hon. member for Louis-Saint-Laurent on a point of order.

Oral Questions

Does the hon. member have unanimous consent to table this document?

Routine Proceedings

The hon. member has the right to raise a point of order, but the Chair also has the right to stand up and ask whether it is with regard to the ruling I just gave. The hon. member for Winnipeg Centre is rising on a point of order.

Statements By Members

Order. I am going to invite the hon. member to reflect on this. I see that she does not have questions coming up, and I will come back to the hon. member immediately following question period. The hon. member for Brandon—Souris.

We are now getting into debate, and I see that all the members are rising to participate. I have heard all the interventions I need to hear in order to come back to the House with some guidance on this issue. I see that the hon. member for Calgary Rocky Ridge is rising. I hope his point of order will be equally new, pertinent and brief, as well as not entering into new debate.

There was no ruling yesterday. I had indicated to the House that I would come back with some guidance or with a ruling if necessary, and I will. Some hon. members wanted to raise some issues. I allowed them the opportunity to raise issues that were pertinent, brief and new. I thank the hon. member for his intervention.

Routine Proceedings

The hon. member is now engaging in a debate on the ruling that I just gave. I will invite the hon. member, and all hon. members, to please read the ruling carefully. The hon. member for Victoria is rising on a point of order, and I hope it is not with regard to the same issues that have been raised.

Oral Questions

For the second time today, I am going to ask the hon. member for Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo to please not take the floor unless recognized by the Speaker, which he has been, for questions. The hon. member for Bellechasse—Les Etchemins—Lévis.

Oral Questions

The hon. minister has mentioned a particular member and has said that there was a deliberate falsehood. That is not acceptable. Therefore, I would ask the hon. minister to withdraw that language because of its unparliamentary nature.

Oral Questions

I thank the hon. minister.

Routine Proceedings

I am afraid that is not a point of order. The Speaker has made a ruling. I invite the hon. member to take a look at it and not engage in debate. There are avenues she could proceed with on that point.
