Mr. Speaker, I would point out that I do not envy you in your position because it is a difficult one. However, I would like to point out that I was standing in my place and I was calling, “point of order”.
Mr. Speaker, the heckling you are hearing from the government benches is the same heckling that was going on when I said, “Mr. Speaker, point of order”. I will not name the member but it was a government member who said, “Oh, just keep reading. Ignore her”.
Mr. Speaker, I was indeed standing in my place before you had ruled and government members were heckling because they saw that I was rising on a point of order to ask if I could debate this issue. If you were to look at the sequence of events, Mr. Speaker, you will have auditory verification that I was indeed standing in my place.
