Mr. Zimmer, you've raised a point of order. The ruling.... On page 1029 of O'Brien and Bosc are the rules pertaining to legislative committees that we have adopted. They only allow for members or their substitutes to make representations to vote, or to have interventions at a legislative committee.
As Mr. Valeriote is the member for the Liberal Party here, it would be inappropriate for Mr. Easter to have an intervention at this committee, unless he substitutes for Mr. Valeriote. So I would respectfully ask Mr. Easter to continue observing this committee and observe the rights that he is entitled to as a parliamentarian, but not to interfere with the rights of other parliamentarians at this table who were duly assigned to this committee.
Mr. Knubley, please continue.
