Certainly, I've read 116 and it seems that my colleague is attempting to falsely claim that the speaking order that was agreed to by the chair isn't legitimate, but he doesn't have the nerve to challenge the chair because nobody agrees with him.
Chair, I think this is a specious argument, and it is actually undermining my rights under Standing Order 116 and the ability of a member to speak.
I'm invoking my rights under Standing Order 116 and ask that you would tell these members to stop this constant campaign to stop me from speaking on a bill that is very important to working people across this country. That's why I'm here. That's why I show up. That's the work I want to do. I want to speak to the amendment and to the motion at hand. They are using 116, which is my right to speak, to undermine me and undermine the work of this committee.
I'm asking for a ruling, Chair.
