Chair, I have a point of order. The member is not speaking to the motion.
The member is required, according to the Standing Orders if I am not mistaken, to speak to the topic at hand, which is the motion that's being debated. Anything that's not specific to that topic.... He needs to return to the topic; otherwise, he needs to cede his time.
I am just wondering, Chair, if you could remind him to do that.
As far as wanting to speak about housing affordability, that's actually what we want to do. That's why we want to get this motion passed and move forward with those issues that Canadians really care about.
If we could have a vote on this, that would be great, and we could all move to talking about housing affordability and the other things that are in this budget that are going to help Canadians.
If the member wants to continue to speak, I think he needs to speak to the topic at hand.
