I would like to thank the hon. member for Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher for his point of order.
With regard to the subject that is before the House, it is true that all honourable members must ensure that what they are talking about is relevant.
In the course of debate, members have been making references to the pieces of legislation that are part and parcel of the motion and would be affected by it. This has been a debate that has touched on those topics in the past. I recognize the hon. member's point and encourage the parliamentary secretary and others to continue to ensure that their arguments and commentary do refer to the question that is before the House.
The question pertains, of course, to a procedural matter in terms of reinstating the various pieces of legislation to the stage at which they were left in the first session. At the same time, discussion around those pieces of legislation can give rise to arguments as to why the question should be supported or opposed.
The Chair recognizes these points in the same vein that there has been debate regarding the Speech from the Throne, prorogation, and other issues that are perhaps not directly related to the question but that in fact do have some pertinence in this case.
The hon. parliamentary secretary has the floor.
