The Chair Liberal George Chahal

I would just ask everybody to be calm—

5:15 p.m.

Conservative

Shannon Stubbs Conservative Lakeland, AB

I do have a loud talking voice, but I'm not yelling.

The Chair Liberal George Chahal

—until we can get a ruling from the clerk on the point of order.

5:15 p.m.

Conservative

Shannon Stubbs Conservative Lakeland, AB

Characterizing a woman as yelling is as old in the book as hysteria, isn't it?

Charlie Angus NDP Timmins—James Bay, ON

I have a point of order.

Jeremy Patzer Conservative Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK

There are multiple points of order here. Charlie, you're about fourth on the list, so just hang on.

Charlie Angus NDP Timmins—James Bay, ON

I'm not talking to you; you're not the chair.

5:20 p.m.

Conservative

Jeremy Patzer Conservative Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK

It doesn't matter. You don't have the floor, so just wait your turn.

Charlie Angus NDP Timmins—James Bay, ON

I have a point of order, Chair, on Mr. Simard's point of order.

The Chair Liberal George Chahal

Yes, Mr. Angus, just give me one second.

Charlie Angus NDP Timmins—James Bay, ON

Certainly, I will wait.

The Chair Liberal George Chahal

Thank you.

5:20 p.m.

Conservative

Jeremy Patzer Conservative Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK

I also had a point of order on that already, Charlie. So did Mr. Aldag, I think. There is a pecking order here, so don't worry about it.

An hon. member

Shh.

5:20 p.m.

Conservative

Jeremy Patzer Conservative Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK

Don't shush me.

The Chair Liberal George Chahal

Monsieur Simard, thank you for your point of order.

I think what you said is that this is a matter for the House to deal with, but since debate has begun on the motion, we will proceed through—

Charlie Angus NDP Timmins—James Bay, ON

I have a point of order.

The Chair Liberal George Chahal

Yes, Mr. Angus.

5:20 p.m.

Conservative

Jeremy Patzer Conservative Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK

Excuse me. There are multiple people who have raised points of order before Mr. Angus, so he doesn't get to jump the queue.

The Chair Liberal George Chahal

Hold on a second.

Mr. Angus has had his hand up, and I want to give everybody an opportunity here in person and on video conference. Mr. Angus had his hand up—

An hon. member

So did the rest of us.

The Chair Liberal George Chahal

I know, but he did not interrupt on a point of order. He put up his hand, and I acknowledged his hand going up, so we'll go to him.

Then, if you have a point of order, I can acknowledge others as well.

5:20 p.m.

Conservative

Jeremy Patzer Conservative Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK

I think his point of order was on the previous point of order, though.

The Chair Liberal George Chahal

His point of order is also on this point of order.

5:20 p.m.

How do you know?
