Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The speed at which you are reading out these motions is more akin to that of an auctioneer or the commentator at a horse race than to that of a Speaker of the House of Commons.

This being a bill on clarity, it would be necessary for what you are reading to be clear to all those who are listening.

Division No. 937Government Orders

2:10 p.m.

The Deputy Speaker

It is always the desire of the Chair to serve the House, for—as hon. members are aware—the Chair is the servant of the House. We do not, however, wish to waste time with these motions. This is the third—

Division No. 937Government Orders

2:10 p.m.

Some hon. members

Oh, oh.

Division No. 937Government Orders

2:10 p.m.

The Deputy Speaker

This is already the third time these motions have been read to the House. All hon. members also have before them, or available to them, the Order Paper, in which the motions are all listed. I always give the motion number as well. Hon. members can eve read them in both official languages. I therefore believe that, even at the speed I am reading, it is possible to understand what is being said.

In my opinion the point of order does not apply.
