I have a point of order, Mr. Chair.
I understand that we are to be going through question period. Is that correct?
Conservative
Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
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—

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.
I understand that the whips came to this agreement that this is how we would proceed. We are proceeding right through question period, but the member is welcome to go and attend question period.
