Mr. Clerk, according to procedure, if the chair gives me the floor, I can ask that we go in camera. That is not a matter for debate.

It is up to the chair to decide whether or not to give a member the floor. I did not give Mr. Gourde the floor. I asked him to be quiet during Mr. Aubin's speech. That was my decision.
Go ahead, Mr. Aubin.
