Commons advances supply motions after rejecting RCMP racism proposal

The House spent the bulk of its sitting on government orders for the business of supply. Liberal MP Kevin Lamoureux obtained unanimous consent for rules allowing parties to divide time within each 15-minute period during the debate. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh moved a consent motion to recognize systemic racism in the RCMP and to review its budget in favour of non-police supports, but the motion did not pass.

A point of order later arose when Bloc Québécois MP Claude DeBellefeuille demanded an apology after Singh called another member racist during the supply proceedings; Singh declined to withdraw the remark.
