Mr. Lukiwski, you understand that the chair sought to show a little respect to the minister and made a unilateral decision. The members have pointed out that we had already decided to move to committee business. I asked if there was consent. Indirectly, I asked if it would be okay with the members to allow the minister to speak. The members have said no. As a consequence, Mr. Lukiwski, no matter how much you debate, there isn't consensus that the minister speak any further.
