I beg to differ, Mr. Chair. In fact, what transpired was that Mr. Badawey moved a motion to end debate, and that motion was illegitimately voted on because there are no provisions in the Standing Orders to do that. It was illegitimately voted on, and then it was moved on. My colleague Mr. Strahl did not have the opportunity to finish the position he was taking on that particular issue because debate was illegitimately ended.
Since you say that this is not what transpired and that was not your intention, I'm going to give us the opportunity to resume debate. I don't think that we should allow a flagrant violation of the Standing Orders and I don't believe that there is any legal basis for us to be creating our own rules. I think that we must comply with the Standing Orders.
I'm going to ask that my colleague Mr. Strahl continue. There was an improper ruling, pursuant to Standing Order 116. Debate should not have been ended.
As you said, you did not tell Mr. Strahl that he had to stop. Maybe there was a misunderstanding. If it's Mr. Strahl's position that he had not concluded the debate, then I would like the motion that was put on the floor to end debate to be withdrawn or overruled, because it was improperly done, and I would like Mr. Strahl to rightfully have the floor and rectify this situation. That is the right and the correct thing to do, pursuant to Standing Order 116.
