Mr. Chair, thank you. The proper procedure that the member needs—

It is a point of order, because order isn't being followed right now.

The way to bring forward a suggestion such as the member's is either through an amendment to the current motion, which he has not moved—though he did have the opportunity to during his last 15-minute filibuster—or bring forward another motion at the next committee meeting.

Mr. Chair, this is not a point of order. This is not a point of order.

He has the tools. He's refusing to use them, which makes me question his sincerity.

Mr. Chair, this is not a point of order. I'm going to wrap up by saying this.

Well, I got interrupted, so I'm going to wrap up by saying this to at least Mr. Lawrence, who seems to be somewhat interested in what I'm saying. Let's sit down together. Let's craft a motion that does what I believe all of us want to do.

There's a point of order. Do you want to request an extension until six o'clock here?

I would just observe that order is not being followed. The member across the way cannot invite us into a dark room to have a conversation. The member across the way can move an amendment to the motion that is currently on the floor. That is the correct order that is available to the member across the table.

The Vice-Chair Conservative Kevin Waugh
Everyone, we have two minutes left here.
Go ahead, Mr. Noormohamed.

I'm going to say the following. There can be any amount of light in the room that Mrs. Thomas chooses—dark, light, lots of light, snow lights. I don't care. What I am saying is let's come together, let's write a motion that every Canadian can be proud of, that Jewish Canadians will be able to stand on, that says that they are proud of this and that we are all fighting together.

With that, Mr. Chair, I will cede the rest of my time, and I'm sure Mr. Lawrence has things that he would like to say.

Rachael Thomas Conservative Lethbridge, AB
I recognize that the member has finally ceded the floor after filibustering. Combined together, as Liberals did for the last 40 minutes—
5:40 p.m.

Taleeb Noormohamed Liberal Vancouver Granville, BC
Again, this is not a point of order, and all she's doing is tearing up Mr. Lawrence's time.
