Mr. Chair, on a point of order, I'm a little disturbed by the attempt to try to silence opposition MPs on these important questions. We have the main estimates. The minister referenced pipeline safety and public consultations on Line 9 in his initial statement.
Obviously, if you felt those weren't appropriate issues, then you would have at that time requested the minister not to deal with them. We can't have a one-sided debate whereby the minister brings issues to the floor at this committee and then you decide that an opposition point of view, which is also the public point of view, I might add, is something that has to be disregarded. That is simply inequitable, and it's not becoming of a parliamentarian.
