Madam Chair, I rise on a point of order.
It has been mentioned a couple of times about emergency debates. It is important for the Canadian public to understand that it is the Speaker of the House of Commons who rules on whether or not a debate is an emergency debate. It has been mentioned here, accusing that somehow this is not important to the government because the government did not rule it to be an emergency debate. It is the Speaker of the House who does that.
Madam Chair, through you, they are challenging the Speaker. It is very important to know that is the rule which governs. I wish the hon. member would read the standing orders and understand that.
