Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act

Point of Order

November 21, 2023


Hon. Lucie Moncion [ - ]

I have a point of order. Senator Plett, can you speak on the amendment, please?

Senator Plett [ - ]

Address the Speaker, please, not me.

Senator Moncion [ - ]

Your Honour, could Senator Plett address the amendment, please?

The Hon. the Speaker pro tempore

Senator Plett, do you want to speak on the point of order?

Senator Plett [ - ]

Yes, I want to speak on the point of order. I probably, in the last five minutes, used the term “Bill C-234” at least 20 times, Your Honour and colleagues. How am I not speaking to Bill C-234?

The Hon. the Speaker pro tempore

Senator Wells, do you have something to say on the point of order?

Hon. David M. Wells [ - ]

Yes, Your Honour. The first 80% of Senator Gold’s speech was about how luminaries around the world say how good the carbon tax is, and not at all about the amendment. Generally, in these speeches, in my history here, I’ve always given some latitude as well to speeches if they are generally on the topic.
