Madam Chair, I will note for the committee and for public record that I have held the floor in this capacity, since moving my motion, for a total of 10 minutes of speaking time. However, since I moved my motion, 38 minutes have passed, which means that 30 minutes were taken up by colleagues speaking to various points of order that they raised and then used as filibuster opportunities.
As much as my colleagues would like to blame me for taking the majority of this time, it in fact has been others around the table. I simply wish to bring my motion to the floor, to move it and to speak to its importance. I will resume doing that now.
