I want to say something regarding the point of order, Mr. Chair.
I find it inappropriate to interrupt the witness, who has come here to meet with us today. First of all, my colleague's comments are out of place. The Prime Minister impressed upon us the importance of getting Bill C-55 passed quickly. He put the situation into context.
I think the members of this committee should at least have the decency to listen to what the witness has to say. Afterwards, every member will have an opportunity to ask the minister questions.
Interrupting the witness while he is making his opening statement is uncalled for.
