Without getting into the debate, I can provide some information for my colleagues, if that's their wish. I know a couple of people have asked for more information, and I'd be happy to get that to your offices.

Perhaps you could send it to the clerk, Ms. Bell, because this is committee business now.

Mr. Harris has a point of order, but first, did you have a point of order, Mr. Tonks?

I can assure you that my point of order is very much redundant.

Ms. Bell, regarding the material that you will supply, could I request that you supply the material that supports your motion that specifically conflicts with the science that the National Energy Board has used in granting their approval, rather than rhetoric? I know that rhetoric plays a big part in this, but I would request specifically material that shows where there's a conflict based on scientific fact.

I'm not sure that was a point of order, but it was helpful.

We'll suspend and move into an in camera meeting again to continue with our forest industry study.
