Mr. Speaker, I spoke on this same point of order last week to ask you to allow one of our members to continue asking his question, because he had 15 seconds left in his time and he was about to get to his question on government business. I think that my Bloc Québécois colleague's argument is entirely justified.
However, I find the gratuitous attack just launched by the government House leader, which is not relevant to the point of order, to be completely unwarranted. Mr. Speaker, you allowed him to issue this unwarranted attack that was completely out of context. We have the right to ask our questions. That is our right. We represent our constituents, so it is not up to the government House leader to decide what questions members of the official opposition or any other member of the House, for that matter, can ask.
I will wait to give my other comments on my colleague's point of order later.
