Gary Goodyear Conservative Cambridge, ON

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

First of all, I don't think that you actually have the right to make commentary as you did five minutes ago. In fact, you're hardly the one to impart fairness. Mr. Lowry was being badgered today by these folks, and you never said anything until we pointed it out. But yesterday you called us on what was definitely not badgering. You asked us to define our points of order before we were allowed to speak, yet yesterday you recognized Mr. Proulx on a point of order, interrupted the questioning, and didn't ask him to define it.

I really don't even know if this is a point of order. Monsieur Nadeau made reference to the fact that we need to have a contract signed. That is absolutely incorrect. It doesn't say anything of the sort in the Elections Act. I would simply like the gentleman to produce that if it's true. I do not know of that. I'm wondering if the member would be kind enough to find such a thing in the Elections Act and provide it to me. That's my point.

I'll simply accept that as some input. It is not a procedural point; it's an opinion on the chair. I accept that and thank you.

Mr. Proulx.
