The Chair Liberal Lena Metlege Diab
No. I'm going to ask Mr. Brock to continue with his intervention.
Conservative
Larry Brock Conservative Brantford—Brant, ON
Thank you.
I invite the Liberal bench, the NDP bench and the Bloc, if they wish, to point-of-order me all you want. Ultimately, it's just going to delay the number of hours that I have set aside for this intervention. If you want me to speak until 11:30, continue to interrupt, because that's how long it's going to take for me to complete the intervention, and then, maybe—
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Lena Metlege Diab
Mr. Brock, give me a minute.
Mr. Bittle has his virtual hand up.
Liberal
Chris Bittle Liberal St. Catharines, ON
Thank you so much.
I'd just like to clarify that Mr. Brock is acknowledging that he'd rather speak for 12 hours than have Mr. Viersen come. That's how embarrassed he is about Mr. Viersen—

Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
Madam Chair, this is not a point of order.

Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
On a point of order, Madam Chair, you have to stop him. This is not a point of order.
Liberal
Chris Bittle Liberal St. Catharines, ON
Again I'm being shouted down during my point of order, which is shocking. That's how embarrassed they are.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Lena Metlege Diab
Mr. Kurek, you have your virtual hand up.
Members, before that, please, for those in the room, put your hand up so that I can acknowledge you. It's pretty hard for me to look at the screen as well as at every single person.
Now it's Mr. Kurek's turn.
Conservative
Damien Kurek Conservative Battle River—Crowfoot, AB
Madam Chair, I actually have a point of order, unlike the previous intervention.
For the benefit of those of us who are virtual, I would ask that you share what the speaking list is. That would be most helpful for those of us who are not in the room.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Lena Metlege Diab
Yes, I will. Thank you.
Mr. Fortin is next on the list.
I had Mr. Lawrence, but I am informed by the table that you are not on the members' list anymore.
Then I have Mr. Jivani—
Conservative
Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
I have a point of order, Madam Chair.
Before I can be removed, in accordance with Standing Order 119, it would have to be expressed in a motion as a will of the committee for me to not be able to speak, so that's inappropriate and actually a violation of my privilege. Please put me back on the list.
Conservative
Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
It's a point of order. Put me back on the list in accordance with Standing Order 119. Do your job.
Liberal
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Lena Metlege Diab
—but you are an extra member right now, because Mr. Kurek was subbed in for Ms. Ferreri.
Conservative
Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
For a member who is not subbed in, in accordance with rules 115 and 116, I am still allowed to speak unless the committee has expressed its will. I therefore get to stay until the committee has said, in the form of a motion, that I am not to speak unless I'm subbed in. They have not done that, so I shall stay on the list.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Lena Metlege Diab
Yes. That's fine. If the committee decides otherwise, then that's fine.
I was reading who is on the list. I think that's all I had.
Mr. Kurek, did you also have your hand up to be put on the list?
Conservative
Damien Kurek Conservative Battle River—Crowfoot, AB
Yes. Thank you, Madam Chair.
In my initial intervention, I had a request. I think it was about 50 minutes ago [Technical difficulty—Editor]
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Lena Metlege Diab
I haven't put anybody in since you've been in, so you're on the list now.
Thank you.
Conservative
Damien Kurek Conservative Battle River—Crowfoot, AB
Okay. I do appreciate that [Technical difficulty—Editor]
