The clerk has now provided us with information that the member for Nunavut was not given notice after the order of reference from the House of Commons. That is required. That means we cannot proceed. Our rules are not being followed. I am challenging the chair on her view that we should proceed with it notwithstanding that violation of the rules.

You are challenging the chair. Mr. Van Loan, I think you have brought forward—and everyone around this table has heard you suggest—that you reject the ruling of the chair because of the fact that the member for Nunavut was not contacted 48 hours before.

Everyone around this table has agreed that they will proceed anyway, so if you wish, I will call.... The question is already called.

Yes, Mr. Maguire, you may ask the clerk a question, and then I am proceeding to the orders of the day.

How can you do that, Madam Chair, when you don't know what my question is?
