Thank you, Chair.
With the utmost respect to you as the chair occupant, and of course to our exceptional clerks who operate in the House, I would refer you to page 154 in chapter 3 of Bosc and Gagnon, 2017, which talks about privileges and immunities:
Unlike the Speaker, the Chair of a committee does not have the power to censure disorder or decide questions of privilege. Should a Member wish to raise a question of privilege in committee, or should some event occur in committee which appears to be a breach of privilege or contempt, the Chair of the committee will recognize the Member and hear the question of privilege, or, in the case of some incident, suggest that the committee deal with the matter. The Chair, however, has no authority to rule that a breach of privilege or contempt has occurred.
Chair, with all due respect to you in that role, Mr. Strahl was still speaking, and I believe you have a speaking list on the point of privilege that he has raised. To ensure that we are operating in accordance with the rules and procedures of this place and the privileges and immunities associated with us as duly elected members of this caucus, the debate should be allowed to continue, as is very clearly articulated in the rules that help make sure that all members, including members of the government, backbench party members, opposition and otherwise, are able to do the job we've been sent here to do.
