I can only listen to what our adviser, the clerk, tells me. Points of order eat into a member's speaking time. I'm not an expert on parliamentary procedure, on Marleau and Montpetit. I can only listen to the clerk on this matter.
Really, we're getting off the subject here. We're eating into the time we need to examine the witnesses, so maybe we could deal with these issues after the committee.
It will be more appropriate to allow members to pursue their questions. If the chair finds it necessary to intervene, the chair will intervene.
Ms. Chow.
