This is a rather unusual proceeding. The clerk has just filled me in on the proceedings of the proceeding, so I will fill the House in on the proceedings of the proceeding as well.
What happened was that I recognized the hon. member for Broadview—Greenwood on debate. At the same time the hon. member for Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca was on his feet. It is the purview of the Chair to recognize whomever the Chair chooses to recognize. The only way a member has to challenge the Chair's decision on who has been recognized is to move that another member be recognized.
That is where we are now because the hon. member for Broadview—Greenwood had not begun to speak. Had the member for Broadview—Greenwood begun to speak, it would have been game over and the point of order would not have been receivable. But because the member had not begun to speak, another member rose on a point of order. That is where we are.
