Mr. Chair, on a point of order, I verified with the clerk the last time this happened when the Liberals weren't here. He confirmed that for questions, the process is supposed to be opposition, government, opposition, government. The fact that he's not here right now isn't my problem. Normally, we should have the questions right now rather than the government, because it becomes unfair that they have two questions back to back.
