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.

The Vice-Chair Conservative Doug Shipley
Just wait a second on all of these points of order.
The clerk has informed me that if there is unanimous consent on that, we could go forward with that.

So you want to protect Paul Bernardo—just for the record.

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.
Mr. Chair, if the members opposite didn't come prepared to deal with Bill C-20, then they should just let everyone know instead of trying to make a political show of horrific—

This is sounding like debate now. Is this your point of order?
Liberal
Jennifer O'Connell Liberal Pickering—Uxbridge, ON
In fairness, Mr. Chair, if you're going to allow other members to make very derogatory accusations about some members....
Isn't that right, Mr. Chair? We are trying to get to a place—

I understand that.
We have not received unanimous consent, so we will move on.

On the same point of order, Chair...?

My colleague put forward a good-faith attempt to come to a compromise. If we don't have a compromise, then I have a motion that's on the floor, so I'm happy to speak to that.
If we could have some clarity about exactly where we are...? Our goal is to get to a point—

The Vice-Chair Conservative Doug Shipley
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.
You are correct, Mr. Genuis. That is on the floor, effectively. We left that off to get translation. Would you like to speak to that?
Conservative
Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB
Yes. Thank you, Chair.
The goal of the Conservative Party—

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I question whether this motion is in order given that we already voted on the subject of it.

On the same point of order, on what possible basis could this be out of order?
