Mr. Chair, on a point of order, I'm sure this has already been raised, but I notice that Mr. Beech has his thumb up in the air. It's like it's pasted to the screen.

I just want to know if there was a formal ruling on whether a voice vote permits an extended thumb to be an equivalent?

We have a really hard-working team here, and we usually go well past two hours, but I know Mr. Lawrence has asked me a number of times for a bio break, so we are going to take a five-minute bio break.

I have a point of order, Mr. Chair. The clerk is doing an excellent job, but could he speak up just a wee bit? I had the same problem as Ms. Dzerowicz. It would be greatly appreciated.

I have a point of order before we go to the next clause. I was just wondering if, at some point later in the day, you might have the clerk calculate what the cost per hour of the meeting is: the extra meals, the House staff and the officials who were on the line for 10 hours. I'd just like to get a sense of the overall costs of the legislative process.
