Excuse me; this is from page 858 of Marleau and Montpetit, under “Disorder and Misconduct”:
Disorder and misconduct in a committee may arise as a result of the failure to abide by the rules and practices of a committee or to respect the authority of the Chair.

And then it goes on to describe some things that I can do.
Once we have dealt with a matter, to start characterizing the chair's rulings or statements in a disrespectful fashion really is not helpful here.

No matter who sits in this place, you have to show a little bit of confidence in them.
I'm bending as far as I can to allow this matter to move forward. I don't want to do anything to stop the flow of this moving forward because it has to move forward. We're not going to get that by throwing mud at each other.
So I'm just going to ask all honourable members, please, just take a deep breath. Let's just put the points on as succinctly as possible and let's hear from the members so that we can move forward to, ultimately, at some point in time, a vote on Mr. Van Kesteren's amendment.
I'm asking; I'm just asking politely--please.
