It's not a matter of debate. It's a matter of order.

Chair, it's not debate. You can't just say that matters of order are matters of debate when you don't like the fact that they're being raised or you don't like the person raising them. The fact is, it is a matter of order. It is a well-established practice of this House that committees do not sit from 2:00 to 3:00, which is during question period.

It's not a point of order, MP Genuis. I request that you go speak to your whip. We are moving forward.

Conservative

It is a point of order. It is not a matter of debate. I'm asking the committee suspend for question period so members can do their jobs and attend question period.

Chair, it's a point of order. I'm asking the committee suspend so that members may attend question period. It's unfair to the members here, some of whom may have questions to ask, some of whom may be responsible for answering questions on the government side.
I'm asking that we suspend. It is a point of order and points of order should be heard.
