Mr. Chair, on a point of order, you're saying “no debate”, then you're letting some members speak and not others.

Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON

Mr. Chair, it is not your responsibility or your job to admonish my colleague by saying he wants to hear himself talk. Mr. Blaikie gets the right to talk. Why don't we?

9:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca

MP Lawrence, what is your point of order?

I'll explain. I shouldn't have to explain it to you, though. I'll tell you why. MP Lawrence, as you were part.... I know MP Genuis wasn't there, but you were part of the discussion on the motion that brought us to where we are now. It said “at 4:30”.

Can the clerk look at the motion? I'm sorry.

Read where there is no debate, if you can.
