I'm going to share this. I know that when we meet again, there will be different people here, but since we are in public and I'm sure everybody is watching, I have provided some time to show some examples of when points of order are not being provided concisely and are being used as an opportunity to give speeches. That is not the intention of a point of order. The clerk and the table would be more than willing to provide people opportunities to learn the procedures.
I would like to be able to chair this committee and not have to remind individuals about when it is and is not appropriate to interrupt. I would ask all members to stay relevant and concise on their points. I also think that sometimes when people are saying that they don't want to be heard, and then we don't hear them, that just adds to the length of things. I think that if we had fewer interruptions, maybe it would be shorter, but I also don't know that for a fact.
With that said, when you have a point of order, be concise. If anybody would like to know exactly how to ask for a point of order, we can provide those resources and information to you.
That's putting everybody on notice for the future, because the tables will turn, I'm sure, and I just want us all to know.
Ms. O'Connell, go ahead.
