Mr. Speaker, I really appreciate your ruling and for the whole table to have taken into account what has happened. I am sure that as you viewed the videos, you would have seen that my hand was raised not at the point that the question was called but way prior to when it was called.
What I have experienced, not just in the public accounts committee but also in the ethics committee and many others, is the consistent, constant bullying from the Conservatives, of my privilege within committees to be able to operate, ask my questions, put forth my viewpoint and give respect to the witnesses who come before our committees on a regular basis.
I do have to say that I am quite disheartened by your ruling, because ultimately what it does is that it puts people like me on the back burner, while there are Conservative games afoot on a regular basis. The Conservatives use regular rules within the Standing Orders to play their games, and we and Canadians are the ones who suffer.
