Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, this is a highly unusual situation to say the least. The government was custodian of this bill, its own bill, and did not move it rapidly through, so we are in a situation here.
I would ask if you had the chance to look at the submission I made earlier, because you did not reference it at all in your decision. There is some value to take a step back for a moment. That is not to question your judgment or capability in this; it is just that there is new information, and we want to make sure we go through a thorough process for this.
The government acted hastily yesterday. It gave no indication about its tactics of withdrawing the bill to any of us until yesterday, and then this morning we saw this action. I would ask for the process to be thorough to ensure that we do not rush to error, and perhaps take a day to allow the member for Saskatoon—Grasswood a chance to participate. That would be valuable too.
I respect your judgment on this, Mr. Speaker, but I believe it is incomplete without the chance to review my intervention earlier and the intervention from member for Saskatoon—Grasswood, whose bill I spoke of.
