Okay, well, listen, we have to proceed with the meeting, whether we have a meeting or just raise points of order for the next two hours.
The reality--and you can take the Minutes of Proceedings--is that a motion was moved on Thursday, October 26, in relation to proceeding with Bill C-288. A question was put before the committee. Mr. Mills, who was the chair at that time, accepted it. It was adopted. We're meeting here based on the proceedings that took place in the meeting on October 26.
The motion is properly before us, and we will proceed in that fashion. Otherwise, we're just going to be debating about whether we should have the debate or not have the debate.
The fact of the matter is that the motion is properly placed before us. It has been voted on by the committee; it has been ruled on by the chair of the committee, and I'm also making the rule that it is properly before us, so we have to proceed.
Before you get to your point of order, the question is whether we are going to have a meeting just about points of order, or whether we will actually deal with the substance of the meeting. That's what I want to know.
