I have a point of order. Mr. Chair, the motion isn't in order. We already voted on it. The member opposite's motion would need to be.... This could be a notice of motion, but it's not in order since we are currently on Bill C-20.

Just wait a second on all of these points of order.

I have a point of order, Mr. Chair. If we are going to play that game, and the member opposite.... We had the motion before us previously. In fact, it was our members who brought it forward. We were working collectively.

Just a minute, Mr. Genuis, because we're losing track a bit.
That was the one, just before we were going to take our break, that we were getting translation for. Everybody has received that in their emails.
