So no votes or no debates?
I don't recall when the speaker has ever shut down the house. Maybe someone who is smarter can pipe in.

Oh, me! I’m smart
A good rule of thumb is to remember that Scheer is a lying dweeb with the charisma of bagged milk, so best to just automatically disregard anything he says.

Barring a sudden surge of cross-aisle cooperation — which, while not unprecedented, seems highly unlikely given the current tone in the chamber — it looks like regular House of Commons business will once again be effectively put on hold as MPs mull over the next steps in dealing with not just one but two potential violations of parliamentary privilege.
(As per longstanding parliamentary protocol — and not, contrary to an exuberant X post from the Conservative house leader yesterday afternoon, because “Liberal corruption has gotten so bad, the speaker has ruled that all other business must be suspended until the scandal is investigated” — debates over matters of privilege automatically take precedence over nearly all other House proceedings, although not, it’s worth noting, the one-hour block reserved for members’ statements and question period.)
