On a point of order, Madam Chair, I take exception to the fact that Mr. Richards is referring to Mr. Maloney in such a way, as “this” Mr. Maloney, as though he's not an appropriate member of the committee. He's been a member of Parliament, despite the fact that Mr. Richards might not be aware of it, by beating a Conservative in 2015, and was re-elected in 2019, so he's certainly been around long enough not to be referred to as “this” member of Parliament.
I would appreciate a little more respect from members as they sit around this table.
