I congratulate you Mr. Chairman, on having consulted the list.
You said, and in fact repeated, that you were under the clear impression that Mr. Julian wanted to launch into a filibuster and that you decided to put an end to it. Under Standing Order 116, you cannot do so until the speaker has finished speaking. Furthermore, as it was a little after 11 o'clock, the wisest decision would have been to defer the discussion. It is obvious that Mr. Keddy, in his notice of motion, was talking about March 3. If I am not mistaken, that is next Tuesday. According to the will or wishes of Mr. Julian, that would have brought us to only the 5th of March. It is not a big difference. If you had respected the standing orders, you could very well have let Mr. Julian speak and, with unanimous consent, deferred the debate. That would have caused fewer problems.
I consider that my right to speak has been denied and that there were significant breaches of the Standing Orders. That is why I challenge your decision. I said that at the outset of my remarks and I maintain my position. You should call the question on this challenge as soon as possible.
