I am getting a pretty good picture of where we are going. With respect to this point of order I am going to make a suggestion.
At the beginning of this parliament the House leaders came to me with a suggestion about question period. It seemed like a good suggestion at the time and I think it is a good suggestion even to this day.
This was a bad question period. It was probably the worst that I have been through as Speaker of the House. Perhaps the blame should rest on my shoulders. After all, I am your Speaker. You have chosen me. Perhaps the tactics that I have used have been less than proactive, as was suggested. However, I have always been of the view that members of parliament, indeed most people, are reasonable people. You have come to the same conclusion today. You have seen what we can do to ourselves in this institution.
I would like to convene before the question period tomorrow. I see that most of the House leaders are here now. I would like to convene the House leaders and if they so wish their whips, but if not just the House leaders, in my chambers. I will have them contacted before the end of this day with a time. This is serious enough that I would like them to sit down with me in my chambers. We will address this problem together and we will solve this problem.
The House leaders are here, except for of course my colleague who is not here. He will be informed and he will come to be with us also.
I want this point of order closed down. If there is another point of order I will listen to it.
Does the hon. member for Hochelaga—Maisonneuve have another point of order?
