Just before the hon. member for Langley—Abbotsford takes the floor to respond to the question as presented by the member for Prince Albert, if we are going to stretch the rules of the House as far as relevance is concerned, it is going to take ingenuity on the part of the members doing so.
The Chair is not going to control the debate. In absence of protests opposite, it is not the Chair's intention to try and stifle debate. However, if the opposition is going to use the rules of the House, then it must be done in the spirit of the rules of the House. It is going to demand ingenuity so that members who wish to bring other issues to the table do so in a way that will not command the Chair to intervene.
