Points of order are allowed during any discussion, and there's no debate on them. However, I would caution members to just take it easy. Let's get through this meeting.
What I see on the table is a very simple decision to make, a decision on the order of the agenda, which has always been up to the committee to decide. Motions have always been put on the floor without notice in this committee. Mr. Preston was recognized first because he had his hand up first. He chose, as other members have in the past, to put a motion up.
We've now legitimately debated that motion. I have called for a question. I have been challenged on that question. Now we are going to vote on whether that challenge stands.
Is everybody clear? We're going to have a recorded vote. My decision is that we will have a vote on the motion put forward by Mr. Preston. I've been challenged on that decision. I'm calling the vote now, and discussion is over.
