Two Points of order today, with lots of input, but nothing sticks.
POO# 1 – BQ member Martin Champoux rises for consent on a motion for something about shares for radio canada. Members nay him down before he could read the motion.
Discussion – As mentioned yesterday, they really should be ale to read the motion before being cut off. This practice is going to backfire on someone.
POO# 2 – Lori Idlout is asked twice to get to her point. On her third try, Speaker Fergus shuts her down as she went into debate. Peter Julien asks that she be allowed to continue. Speaker denies. Charlie Angus rises on the same point claiming she was shouted down by a “bunch of white guys” on the Conservative back bench. Speaker reiterates it was debate. Garnett Genuis also trird to get involved, but was shut down.
Discussion – After Charlie Angus’ comment on white guys, I’ll just drop the whole thing before it descends into racism.
