I have a point of order.
Mr. Jean neither amuses nor intimidates, but he ought not to make points in error. No people from my office ever identified themselves. Mr. Chair, I expect you to make sure that debate remains free of insults and gratuitous comments. That's more a reflection of Mr. Jean—perhaps he is putting his character on display. But there is a role for you, Mr. Chair, to make sure that debate stays on the motion. I won't have my office taken to task on frivolous matters simply because Mr. Jean is unable to deal with the matter in hand.
I'm sure you want to see a debate on this issue, Mr. Chair. But when Mr. Jean attempts to put falsehoods into the record, I look to you to protect the rights of members. I don't wish to interrupt Mr. Jean, much as I may disagree with him. I will have my opportunity. But on a number of occasions he raises things that are unparliamentary in nature, and I look to you to protect the privileges of the members of this committee.
