Madam Chair, you can dictatorially decide to move past me, but you have to hear from the rest of the people who are on the list to speak.
However, I would ask that you be respectful of the fact that I do hold the floor and that I have been respectful as to this motion and speaking to it on topic.
If we disagree on that, then I would ask that you consult with the clerk.

Ms. Thomas, you don't have to ask that I do anything. I am the chair of this committee and I know the rules.
Mr. Champoux is absolutely right about the rule that allows me to end your speaking because you are continuing to repeat the same things. I have not done that yet. I have given you a lot of leeway to continue to repeat yourself, Ms. Thomas.

Thanks very much, Madam Chair.
I've seen a ton of repetition, and I would argue there's the issue of relevance as well. You do have the ability to enforce committees, and in this case, of course, during the Harper years it was systematic—

Madam Chair, that is not a point of order. This is debate.

I'm being heckled by Ms. Thomas. Could you bring this to order, please?

You can continue to speak over me and above me and over anyone else who continues to speak. This shows a lack of respect for your colleagues.
Now, Mr. Julian is speaking. It is a point of order, because he is speaking to the issue of your amendment. You were speaking, and he is suggesting that you are repeating yourself and that it is time to ask you to step down from your debate.
