I did not say that points of order should be brief. I said motions should be brief. The member has risen on a point of order asking for consent to move a motion. In my view the motion has gone on already too long.
Our normal practice, when consent is requested for a motion, is that the motion be brief. The hon. member apparently does not have consent for the motion. We are getting that impression very loudly in the House from time to time and the motion is not brief.
That is my point, and I am sure the hon. member for Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke appreciates that.
