Yes, and I'd like to finish my thought before I get “point-of-ordered”, Mr. Chair.
In my experience on a number of committees, when the issue of relevancy comes up, I have seen chairs provide a certain degree of latitude for interventions by members. I have been to at least a half-dozen. I'm not suggesting you have to follow suit because you are the master of your own domain in terms of how you conduct yourself, sir, in this committee, but we are bound by rules at parliamentary committees. There is a degree of latitude that you can afford the member to eventually get around to the concept of relevancy.
Just because an opposition member feels that the issue of relevancy is not within the first, say, couple of sentences of the intervention by the member, is not to suggest that the entire intervention itself is devoid of relevancy. I simply ask—and this is for information only—that you provide a degree of flexibility to every member of this committee to get to the whole issue of relevancy, knowing full well that relevancy, in my view, is a subjective element.
