I'm sorry, but on a point of order, Mr. Strahl was cut off because debate was ended, which is not permitted by the rules. It clearly says that if there is a member present who has something to say and wishes to speak, they cannot be cut off.
Everything that transpired afterwards is in peril, and I think that this is something that we must....
Remember, Chair, that you are sitting in that position and that you are a creature of statute. Your position is literally based on the powers conferred by the Standing Orders. They clearly say that if a member wants to speak and has something to say, debate cannot be ended nor can debate be voted on pursuant to the rules, because there's no provision for it. There's no exception in that section of the rules. Everything that we're discussing here can be overturned by a simple motion to the Speaker, because the rules have not been complied with.
I'm going to respectfully ask that we adhere to the rules and that my colleague Mr. Strahl be permitted to continue the discussion that he was engaged in when debate was stopped outside of the rules.
