I have two points of order. One is just to remind members that providing a rationale in the context of casting their votes is not allowed. Second, question period has now concluded and we have votes right after question period. Members need to get to vote, Chair.

That is not a point of order.

Mr. Chair, if we lumped clauses 511 to 516, would we be able to suspend for five minutes so Dr. Ellis could go to the washroom?
