When the call to serve king and country went out, more than 600,000 Canadians answered that call, including many from Perth-Wellington.

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, I will be as concise as possible, with new points in reference to this point of order. I do apologize to the members of the NDP for taking time. However, I understand that this is time sensitive before the making of a ruling. The House will recall that on Wednesday of last week I asked the Chair to direct, under Standing Order 151, the correction of the House's records related to the leadership of the NATO Parliamentary Association.

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, I am rising on the same point. I would draw your attention to note 93 on page 513 of Bosc and Gagnon, in which it is stated, referring to Speaker Milliken: ....it is not the role of the Speaker to judge the quality or content of the reply. That applies specifically to questions asked of committee chairs or, in this case, vice-chairs of committees.

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, the very last comment the member made was about other members standing up. Does the member have any thoughts on the member for Etobicoke Centre, who in the past has been a strong proponent of building democracies and electoral fairness and who took disputed ballots all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada?

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, on this question of privilege, I would draw the Chair's attention to past Speakers' rulings on this matter, particularly that of Speaker Fraser, that information distributed to the media prior to being tabled in the House constituted a clear prima facie breach of the privileges of the House.

Elections Modernization Act  Mr. Speaker, a little know fact is that I and my colleague from Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan went to university together. We were classmates at Carleton University back in the day. Therefore, it is an honour to now be a colleague of the hon. member. The member talked about the very important issue of foreign influence.

Elections Modernization Act  Mr. Speaker, free and fair elections are a fundamental part of our Canadian democracy. Unfortunately, the entire democratic institutions file has been a failure since the Liberals took office. One of the greatest promises they made in the last election was that the 2015 election would be the last election under first past the post.

Elections Modernization Act  Mr. Speaker, here we are once again with time allocation on an electoral reform bill, on a bill that would change how we run our elections.

Before getting into the substance of my argument, I want to acknowledge that this is essentially an appeal of a committee chair's ruling.
