Colleagues, I am going to continue recognizing members who are rising, but I would suggest to members who have not negotiated or sought some arrangement that it would be in their interest to do so rather than waste time.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order.
During question period, the member for Windsor—Tecumseh shouted that the member for Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan was lying. That is unparliamentary language, and I believe that, if you verify with the proceedings and verification officers, they will be able to confirm the member did conduct himself in an unparliamentary way. He should withdraw the statement and apologize to the House.

The Speaker Greg Fergus
I do not know if the member for Windsor—Tecumseh would like to take to his feet. If that language is unparliamentary, I will certainly take a look at it, but if the member wants to get up and pre-empt the work of the Speaker, it would certainly be appreciated.
Irek Kusmierczyk Liberal Windsor—Tecumseh, ON
Mr. Speaker, if that in fact was the case, I of course retract that statement.

Peter Julian NDP New Westminster—Burnaby, BC
Mr. Speaker, you reminded all members that, as a sign of respect to Parliament, one needs to circulate motions for unanimous consent to all members in advance. Not a single Conservative did that for the UCs they are presenting today.

I thank the hon. member. It is good practice to do so.

Michelle Rempel Conservative Calgary Nose Hill, AB
Mr. Speaker, I am responding to that point of order. I would remind the House that the Chair has ruled in the past that, on unanimous consent motions, if a member is seeking unanimous consent and there is no consent at that time, there is no obligation for the House to listen to the entirety of the matter at hand.
