I have a very brief point of order. I would just like to make one thing clear for everyone.
I see that the voting members are Mr. Dreeshen, Mr. Falk, Mr. Patzer and Ms. Stubbs.
According to one procedure, if the committee agrees, only voting members may speak. Since many points of order are being raised, this is a long and laborious process. I'm going to object to the idea that an MP who isn't a voting member may speak, even to points of order. I think that's a guideline that the committee can follow. I would therefore like to propose that voting members be the only ones allowed to speak so we can promptly move forward.
I want to emphasize that the committee's proceedings haven't advanced at all for nearly a month, since October 30. I would ask that my colleagues co‑operate, and I would just like to remind them that we aren't sitting in camera. This meeting is public, and I think that anyone watching this later may see that certain individuals have acted in bad faith several times by repeatedly raising points of order.
I don't think it reflects well on the legislative function for us to be proceeding in this manner. To sum up what I just said, I want us to move forward smoothly. I'm going to object to the idea that all individuals who aren't voting members may have the floor. I think the committee can decide the matter.
