On the point of order, I wonder if the hon. member would permit me to give my response first. I just want to check on one thing here.
I address myself to the hon. member for Kootenay—Boundary—Okanagan. I have the letter in front of me and have of course listened very attentively. At this time it does not seem that the application meets the requirements under Standing Order 52. I would therefore rule at this time that he will not have an emergency debate on the motion he brought forward.
Now I will deal with the point of order.
