Madam Chair, certainly the member has a right to cede his place at the table. That's perfectly within his right, and he can do that to any member of Parliament, but to actually continue to cede that without the appropriate notice and paperwork and have another member speak is inappropriate. I've never seen it done in my years here, and I've been here some 10 years.
