Mr. Speaker, I want to add to this point of order as well.
I also have that same concern. I am disappointed at the timing of this ruling. The Opposition House Leader and I both stood and indicated, so it was on at least two occasions, that the member for Saskatoon—Grasswood did have points he wanted to raise on this in his point of order, and he should have that opportunity. He should have been afforded that opportunity. I am extremely disappointed that it was not given to him as a member. I think it is his right to have that opportunity.
Furthermore, we are waiting for a ruling on a question of privilege that I raised on Tuesday. You have obviously moved quickly when a member sought to intervene in this case and was not afforded that opportunity, yet you have a question of privilege on which there could have been a ruling and nobody else was seeking to intervene. It just seems to me that the timing of this is something that we should all be concerned about. I feel it is important and imperative that I raise that point with you.
I do think that the timing of this does create a real problem and a bad precedent for a member who did seek the opportunity to intervene and who did have pertinent facts, given that his private member's bill was one of the bills in question. There are serious concerns here, and I wanted to add those thoughts.
