I want to clarify what I heard from Mr. Simard. I want to have this clear so that I understand it going forward.
Mr. Simard said if members, say, Mr. Perkins or Mr. Viersen, who are not voting members of the committee attempt to speak, he will object. That will mean they actually have no right to speak, because their right to speak is contingent upon the committee agreeing to let non-members speak.
Is that what I heard from Mr. Simard? It would make Mr. Genuis's point moot, but he could talk all night about whatever he wants to talk about, because we're dealing with a filibuster against Bill C-50.
On the issue of non-voting members trying to speak, if there's an objection raised, they will not be recognized.
