Carry on. You are stating a point of privilege—

The Vice-Chair (Ms. Jinny Jogindera Sims) NDP Jinny Sims
—and you have a right to do that. Once you've finished your point of privilege, I will be going to Ms. James, who has a point of order, I believe.

The Vice-Chair (Ms. Jinny Jogindera Sims) NDP Jinny Sims
I will remind all members from both sides of the House of the rules in committee and speaking in camera, and speaking about things in camera outside of in camera.
I'm going to go back to the point of privilege. We have a speakers list that is being kept, and we will get to the rest of you. We have a long night, and we can carry on this way.
Okay. Back to you, Ms. Sitsabaiesan.

Thank you, Madam Chair.
Just to bring you up to speed as to what the heckler across the way from the Conservative benches was saying, it's that they thought I was saying that me being called “little girl” was actually in camera. It wasn't, Madam Chair. It was quite a few weeks back by....
It should be recorded in Hansard, because the person who called me a little girl, who is a man on this committee, had his microphone on. So, Madam Chair, it was not in camera.
