Madam Chair, out of due respect, I'll respect your ruling, which I simply do not understand. I would like to speak to the motion that I just moved.
I moved the motion. I put it on the floor. I gave colleagues an opportunity to see and hear the motion. I gave you an opportunity, respectfully, to see what the will of the committee might be to deal with other things, but I have not yet been granted an opportunity to speak to the motion that I've just moved.
It is a very standard thing that happens, when a member of Parliament moves a motion, that they then be granted an opportunity to speak to the motion. If you thought, in some way, shape or form that I had ceded the floor back to you for anything other than ruling whether my motion was at least in order so I could continue talking about it, then, in my opinion, you've misinterpreted my intentions. I would like to have the floor, Madam Chair.
