Point of order, Mr. Chair.
You are not exercising your responsibilities, in my view. This member is continuing to speak about mercury contamination of sediment at the bottom of lakes. He is deliberately obfuscating and obstructing. You are facilitating. It is not for you, Chair, in my humble estimation, to help him and coach him through what he should be saying. He is a grown man who is a full member of Parliament. He knows the rules.
You have warned him now three times in a row. He is not speaking about this clause. He is not speaking about this bill. He is extrapolating and speaking extemporaneously. He is not addressing anything to do with the merits. This is part and parcel of the seventeen-hour marathon we've seen being exercised by the government MPs, on instruction from the Prime Minister's Office.
I think you now have to exercise your responsibilities and ask this member, if he has nothing constructive to say about this, to stand down and give the floor to someone who might--although I highly doubt it if it's coming from the Conservative side.
