Madam Speaker, I just want to point out that the convention here is that we take people at their word. I clearly saw the member still on his feet. He was leaning over. I had the perfect vantage point. I was just a little behind the hon. member. I could actually see behind the table. He had not made contact with his chair at all. It might have looked like it. He was looking for the document that contains the rest of his speech.
I think the most reasonable thing to do is for the member to have the opportunity to continue speaking. He was reaching for the document. The most reasonable thing to do is to take the member at his word and allow him to finish.
I know that the member for Winnipeg North does not often get a chance to speak, but I am sure he will have an opportunity in a moment. Then he can ask his question.
I think the conventional thing to do would be accept the member for Calgary Forest Lawn at his word and allow him to continue.
