Mr. Chair, on a point of order, I don't want to pre-empt a ruling by you at the request of the clerk, but there were two nominations. What I said was that if there was no agreement to have another vice-chair, I would turn down the nomination, but that was conditional.
I'm not trying to play games here; I just don't want to have an election now and say we're not going to talk about this anymore, because I have something more to say about it. I will not stand in the way of Mr. Bergeron becoming the second vice-chair, nor will I cause an election. However, we did enter into this discussion and, since I was on the speakers list, I don't want to pre-empt having the final say, having been cut off by a ruling for which we don't yet know the outcome.
