Order. I just want to remind members that it is not time for debate or yelling across the way. It makes it difficult for the clerks, who have also been here for many hours, to be able to do their jobs. We know that we do appreciate them. I think if people need a little break, they may want to do that.
Candice Bergen Conservative Portage—Lisgar, MB
Madam Speaker, on a point of order. In relation to what you just articulated, it really is true. The Liberals have been forcing these votes, one vote after the other after the other, because they refuse to allow the former attorney general, and now we are hearing from the former treasury board president.
What I would suggest—and I think that if you seek unanimous consent, you will find it—is that had these votes not been occurring, we would be getting very close to the time that would normally be Oral Questions. There are a lot of questions that Canadians have and that we would like to ask the government.
I think if you seek it, Madam Speaker, you may find unanimous consent that we suspend voting for one hour for the normal time of Oral Questions, and then after that question period is complete, we could then resume voting.
I think if you seek it, you will find consent for that motion.

The Assistant Deputy Speaker Carol Hughes
I want to remind members that when someone is putting a point of order and a motion forward, members should listen to what the motion is before they start giving their response, in order to make sure they understand the motion properly and can make an informed decision.
Does the hon. official opposition House leader have the unanimous consent of the House to move the motion?
