I would like to return to the question of privilege raised earlier today by the House leader of the official opposition. I thank the member for raising this matter. All members, individually and collectively, are responsible for maintaining the dignity of the House. In light of the, I believe, sincere apology from the member for Brampton Centre, I consider the matter closed. With that said, as the Assistant Deputy Speaker stated earlier in response to the question of privilege, I too take this opportunity to again encourage all members to always be vigilant when participating remotely in proceedings of the House. If members do not have to have the camera on, turn it off. If they do not have to be in voting, turn it off.
Oral Questions
A question has to be in order, but unfortunately the Chair is not the arbiter of whether it is a good question or bad question, nor whether it is a good answer or a bad answer. I appreciate the frustration, and I encourage the member to take it up with the minister in person.
Routine Proceedings
I know there is a lot of pent-up demand today, so I am just reminding the member that there are even members of his own caucus who would like to present some petitions. The hon. member for Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan.
Routine Proceedings
There is a quorum call again. And the count having been taken:

The hon. member for New Westminster—Burnaby is rising on a point of order.
Routine Proceedings
That is what I referred to. The hon. member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes.

I am done with that for now, so let us put that one to bed. Having the cameras on is the rule there. The hon. member for Winnipeg North has two minutes and 10 seconds left.
Routine Proceedings
There is relevancy. I will cede that of course to the member for Winnipeg North.
Routine Proceedings
The hon. member for Joliette is rising on a point of order.

The hon. member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes is rising on a point of order.

Order. We had another point of order or a continuation of the same point of order. The hon. member for New Westminster—Burnaby.
Routine Proceedings
I am going to stop things right now. We are doing a count. We will find out exactly how many people we have participating. When we go back, the member for Winnipeg North will have two minutes and 10 seconds left in his time. Let us take a couple of seconds to get the count done correctly. And the count having been taken:
Routine Proceedings
There are 25 members here in the chamber at this moment. There are nine with their cameras on. Members can be online, but if they do not have their cameras on, they are not counted in the quorum. The camera needs to be on. The hon. member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes.

Routine Proceedings
The hon. parliamentary secretary.

We have had a lot of unparliamentary language in the last few days. I would ask the member to take that back and rephrase it.

I hope to have a response from both parties fairly quickly. I recognize the parliamentary secretary to the government House leader.
Government Orders
Before we continue, I want to remind everybody, as I do a couple of times throughout the day, to keep questions and answers as short as they possibly can to make sure that all members and all parties have an opportunity to ask a question and get a response as well. The more we do that, the more we get in. Continuing debate, the hon. member for Surrey Centre.
