Mr. Chair, I have a point of order.
Can you advise me on the procedural aspect of this? We've raised a question of privilege, and the committee has defeated the privilege motion. Does that effectively kill consideration of the privilege issue, or does that open the door for an alternative privilege motion to be raised?
I'm a bit perplexed by this in that we clearly have an issue where the privileges of members are under threat. We would have easily moved on to the other item if we had been able to adopt a privilege motion of some sort. The defeat of it leaves me wondering whether we have any alternative remedy available to us, or if it's simply inferred to be the will of the two parties that voted against it to essentially shut down this issue.
