I have a point of order, Mr. Chair. I gather that the video wasn't working earlier, so I'd like to repeat the point of order I raised initially.
I recognize that it is your prerogative to call a meeting, but you didn't consult any of the vice-chairs before convening this meeting, which, according to you, is urgently needed. You decided to call the meeting after receiving a letter from the Leader of the Opposition, but if the matter was so urgent, why did you schedule the meeting eight days later? I wonder whether you would have done the same had the letter come from Mr. Carney, the Prime Minister, or Mr. Blanchet, the leader of the second opposition party. That's my question. Standing Order 106 requires that the opposition parties be consulted.
