Yes, I want to support the point of order, because Ms. Duncan was not speaking just about our agenda but about the discussions that went into it and specifically what was said, and that seems to me to be out of order.

Ms. Duncan, just measure your comments carefully if you are referring to anything that comes out of in camera discussions.

I agree: the endangered species act is very important. So is the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, and so are all of those that are languishing. What we have agreed, according to our posted agenda, is that we are going to deal with my bill and then we are going to move on and deal with the endangered species act.
What we're doing now again is wasting time instead of moving on. We've already contacted witnesses, as far as I am aware, and these are important people who aren't necessarily always available.
I don't agree with Mark.

According to the rules--Standing Order 115(5)--as soon as the bells are sounded, I have to suspend this meeting or adjourn it and send you up to the House to vote, unless there is consent from members to carry on this discussion and get to a moment when we can call the question.
