Mr. Chair, thank you for allowing me this point of order.
I'd like to point out that my opposition colleague violated my rights as a member when I directed my questions to the minister. He interrupted the conversation not to make a point of order but to insinuate himself into the debate. He prevented me from using my speaking time to put my questions to the minister. That's unfortunate because she was coming to what I thought was a very interesting point. She was citing the remarks of a former Conservative minister, and Mr. Poilievre suddenly realized she had to leave after 30 minutes. And yet it was clearly stated in the agenda distributed to all the members that the minister was coming to answer our questions despite the fact she had to attend a cabinet meeting.
I repeat that he violated my rights. As a member, I have a right to ask the minister questions. However, he used my speaking time to intrude into the debate. That's unacceptable. When the chair says it's time to switch off the microphones, you switch off the microphones.
This is unfair. I had a good question for the minister, but I didn't have an opportunity to ask it or to get an answer. That's unfortunate.
