Mr. Chair, I just want us to review this matter from the beginning.
I have a very simple question for my colleague.
What is he trying to show with his way of speaking and acting? What's the point of what he's saying? Is his objective to make it so that Mr. Viersen has a right to speak? Is it to have the committee report to the House that we have violated Mr. Viersen's privileges? That's my understanding.
Now he's talking about freedom of speech. However, I don't think that has anything to do with the matter before us.
I'd like to be clear. I simply want my colleague to tell us the purpose of his intervention. I would point out to him once again that, if his objective is to make it so Mr. Viersen has a right to speak, I will object. The rules of the House allow me to do so. His remarks will therefore be null and void. Furthermore, if the purpose of his intervention is to have the committee report to the House that Mr. Viersen has suffered a breach of his privilege, I believe, as I look at all my colleagues, that his remarks will also be null and void.
I clearly request that Mr. Genuis tell me what he wants to achieve by his intervention, apart from telling me about freedom of expression, which has nothing to do with the matter initially put before us. I just want to know what he seeks to accomplish by his intervention.
