Mr. Chair, I have a point of order.

On a point of order, is there any precedent for a chair ever refusing a member to vote because they took too much time, ever in the history of the House of Commons?

Mr. Chair, on a point of order, my privilege has been violated.

I asked a question with respect to that. Can the chair just pick zero seconds if he wants?

The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca
I don't know if we have any information on that.
No, there is no information we have for you, MP Lawrence.

Just to be clear, there is absolutely zero precedent of a chair ever refusing a member, no matter how much time they took to vote.
