Minutes of Proceedings
Yuliya Kovaliv made a statement and answered questions.
A point of order was raised as to the procedural acceptability of statements made by a member when questioning a witness.
RULING BY THE CHAIR
The Chair ruled the statements admissible as the statement did not constitute reflecting upon a vote of the House, but rather the lack of unanimity.
Whereupon, James Bezan appealed the decision of the Chair.
The question: “Shall the decision of the Chair be sustained?” was put and the decision was sustained on the following recorded division:
YEAS: Chad Collins, Andy Fillmore, Darren Fisher, Marie-France Lalonde, Emmanuella Lambropoulos, Lindsay Mathyssen, Christine Normandin — 7;
NAYS: James Bezan, Cheryl Gallant, Pat Kelly, Shelby Kramp-Neuman — 4.
Accordingly, the Chair's decision was sustained.
Questioning of the witness resumed.
At 4:46 p.m., the sitting was suspended.
At 4:50 p.m., the sitting resumed.

That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), and that, given the Conservative caucus vote against Operation UNIFIER and other aid to Ukraine, the committee undertake a study of the impact of the Conservatives’ vote to undermine Canada’s support for Ukraine and the message that this sends to the Ukrainian‑Canadian community.
Questioning of the witnesses resumed.
