First of all, I want to say that if Mr. Lukiwski is worried about the vote, a member who has broken the rules of the House of Commons will apologize on the floor of the House. Normally the Speaker of the House doesn't throw somebody out of the House when he recognizes the mistake he made.
When we come to the noise in the House, recognizing that when the level of the noise is high and the other party loses questions, we're saying that because he said he cannot skip the vote lists, we'll give him the power to do it.
He's the one who said he cannot skip it. He said parties come in with a list and he cannot deviate from it. If a member is out of order, the only thing he can do is say he'll switch to another one. He's using that power already. One thing that he's not doing is taking a question away.
To answer Mr. Hill, yes, it's true, I think we have 20 or 21 questions plus subs. But if you look at the record, where we're losing is at the other end, which was a bonus in that we could ask some questions. You can check the record.
It happened before, when I had to go and see the Speaker, and I think Monsieur Guimond did too, to say, look, it's not fair. Even on our third question, when we'd have a question and a sub, he would cut us on the question and not give us the sub. I said, well, they're the ones making the noise, just keep it going, and get us to raise the sub question. I think maybe he has done that lately, when we look at the log. It's a power he has.
Mr. Chair, it's not a motion I've put here but a public recommendation. I'm telling you I'm very serious about it. Our party is very serious about it. When we write the report, we'll see how the report is. I will reserve having a dissenting report going to Parliament.
