Mr. Cooper may be protected by parliamentary privilege, but with that parliamentary privilege also comes some responsibility with respect to parliamentary language. He knows full well that the word he just used would not be allowed in the chamber. I would suggest to you that, just as parliamentary privilege extends to committees, so too should the rules around unparliamentary language.
I would invite him to apologize and to withdraw that remark, and I would ask you to so direct him, Mr. Chair.

I was going to wait until Mr. Cooper finished speaking to ask him to do that, but indeed, I am going to do that, since you intervened at this point.
Mr. Cooper, I ask you to withdraw. You know some of the words you used were unparliamentary.

On a point of order, Mr. Chair, I think we've strayed dramatically from the substance of Bill S-6.

On that point, Mr. Chair, no, I don't believe so. I've indicated already how there is a link here between SNC-Lavalin and Madagascar. I'm simply trying to determine whether these meetings related to that matter.

To be honest, I don't know, but we can check for sure. We can have the clerk check to see if there is anybody in CRA who does international tax compliance who could enlighten us on that. You can do that, David?
The Clerk: Sure.
The Chair: We'll see whether or not they have anyone.
Are we agreed on that strategy for Bill S-6?
Some hon. members: Agreed.
The Chair: Okay. On the other item I have, I'll give you the chair's ruling, and I'll put it into the record.
There have been some questions as to whether the meeting was adjourned correctly on February 21. I think Mr. Richards made that observation. I'll simply confirm what I, as chair, observed at the meeting, which I think is also reflected in the Minutes of Proceedings from the meeting.
At 11:30, I suspended the meeting as I felt there was disorder in the room. However, after a short suspension, when I felt the disorder was going to continue, I adjourned the meeting. In doing so, I was guided by page 1099 of House of Commons Procedure and Practice, Third Edition, which states:
The committee Chair cannot adjourn the meeting without the consent of a majority of the members, unless the Chair decides that a case of disorder or misconduct is so serious as to prevent the committee from continuing its work.
Accordingly, I hope that this clarifies that the meeting on Thursday, February 21, 2019 was adjourned correctly, as well as the reasons I adjourned it that way.
Go ahead.
