Yes. There are two things to consider here, but I will take your point of order as a clarification.
First, the duties of the vice-chair were explained to me. In the absence of the chair, one of the two vice-chair presides over the proceedings. I raised this issue because I wanted to be sure that it would not limit my ability to ask questions.
However, if you feel that I have no business asking questions, then I would invite you to take over and chair the meeting. I don't have a problem with that. I will return to my seat and ask my questions as a regular member. If you are more comfortable with that arrangement, it's fine with me. I'll turn over my responsibilities immediately, provided our colleagues seated at this table have no objections. How does that sound?
