I have a point of order, Mr. Chairman.
The Standing Orders say that:
“within five sitting days”. We are inside the “within five sitting days”.
Mr. Chairman, with all due respect, do not try to get around this by putting it off until tomorrow in order to have consultations.
Let us make our decision right now. We are within the time limit. It does not say when the five days are over, or at the expiration of five days, but within five days.
How do we know that this afternoon there will not be a new order of precedence, so that Ms. Picard's case is relegated to the bottom of the list?
We must protect her rights right now. We have to make a decision right now. Let us do that right now.
