Thank you, Chair.
I have been on a lot of different committees over 20 years. A point of order is a point of order on an issue.
Mr. Genuis doesn't get to write out a whole long list of grievances and present them as a series of extenuating issues in a point of order. What we're ending up with is interference by taking the floor that undermines the rights of other members to speak. We're over an hour and a half into that.
If he has a specific point of order, then he needs to say it. You rule on it and then we can move on. He can't draw up a long list of grievances and slights he's felt over the last two days of our attempts to actually do work here. I would ask you to make sure it's succinct.
I do have the floor. I am serious about getting this legislation passed. I am here to work hard. I have been interfered with constantly since I was given the floor by the chair. I think we need to move on.
The accusation by Mr. Genuis saying that I've somehow stolen the floor is just beneath us as parliamentarians. This isn't high school.
Mr. Chair, we've heard swearing and now we're hearing these kinds of base accusations. The Conservatives need to start treating this committee with the respect it deserves.
