I have a point of order, Mr. Chair.
I understand that we are to be going through question period. Is that correct?

I would like to raise an objection to that on the point of order.
It's a violation of my privilege and all the members' privilege. Question period is incredibly important and part of our job. Even more so, there was an opposition motion brought forward by the New Democratic Party raising the issue of foreign interference. This is a serious issue—

Are you ruling against my point of order that we should suspend for question period?

Conservative
Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
It certainly is a point of order. It's with respect to our schedule. You were saying that we can go through question period.

Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca
We're going to suspend for a moment.
First, the member and any member is welcome to attend question period. They're welcome to go.
