Mr. Chairman, I am rather frustrated by Mr. Komarnicki's point of order. Over the course of a three-week tour across the country, we heard comments to the effect that Bill C-50 would be discussed later. Well, we're studying Bill C-50 now and we're trying to get some background information. I think this is what Mr. Telegdi is trying to do. We said that we would discuss it later.
As a committee, our vision cannot be limited. We cannot examine a piece of legislation with blinders on and not look beyond this framework. In order to properly consider this bill, we need to look at the immigration system in its entirety. Even though I do not know what Mr. Telegdi is getting at exactly, as a member of this committee, I'm prepared to hear what he has to say.
Moreover, I think each member of the committee has a responsibility to determine whether or not his comments are relevant. If they are not, then too bad for him. It's not up to the other members to decide whether anything I, Mr. Telegdi, Mr. Khan or anyone else for that matter says is relevant. This point of order, which really isn't a point of order, should be ruled out of order. Let's hear Mr. Telegdi's questions and if they are not relevant, then too bad for him.
