Point of Order – Bill C-38

[S96XGLh0Z30]

Elizabeth May: Mr. Speaker, I rise on the same point of order. We had attempted, at least on my part and I know the other opposition parties and certainly the official opposition made many attempts, to negotiate. I will make one attempt at least for my willingness to give unanimous consent for this–

Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Elizabeth May: Are members interested in finding out how–

An hon. member: No.

The Acting Speaker: Order. The hon. member for Saanich–Gulf Islands can complete her comments.

Elizabeth May: Mr. Speaker, I must then conclude that the suggestion of any kind of co-operation at this stage was a bad faith offer. I had an offer but I do not think it is welcome.

The Acting Speaker: Does the Chief Government Whip have unanimous consent for his motion?

Some hon. members: Agreed.

Some hon. members: No.

The Acting Speaker: Does the chief NDP whip have unanimous consent for his motion?

Some hon. members: Agreed.

Some hon. members: No.

The Acting Speaker: Does the Liberal House leader have support for his motion?

Some hon. members: Agreed.

Some hon. members: No.

The Acting Speaker: Does the hon. member for Saanich–Gulf Islands have unanimous support?

Some hon. members: Agreed.

Some hon. members: No.

The Acting Speaker: There would appear to be no unanimous consent for anything in the House at this time.
