Call in the members. And the bells having rung:
Orders of the Day
I declare the motion carried. The hon. leader of the official opposition has a point of order.
Orders of the Day
The point of order was pretty clear that he could retract and get back into it. The hon. member for Brantford—Brant has the floor.
Orders of the Day
I thank the hon. member for her comments. I completely agree that we are here to discuss and to be heard. That is the main reason we are here. There are a lot of opportunities to ask questions and make comments after the speeches are finished. The hon. member for Vancouver Granville has the floor.
Orders of the Day
I did hear him retract it. I think the other member was standing at the same time. I will ask the member to clarify, and then we will continue.

The member is correct, so I would ask the member for Brantford—Brant to adjust that sentence, maybe retract it and try a different verbiage.

Orders of the Day
Order. The hon. member for Hamilton Centre.
Orders of the Day
Order, please. The hon. member for Saanich—Gulf Islands.
Orders of the Day
I am going to interrupt the member because there is a second conversation going on at the same time, which is preventing me from hearing the member’s speech and question. The hon. Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons, on a point of order.
Orders of the Day
I did hear that as well. I did see the exchange that was happening there. I did hear the member. I wonder if the member would want to maybe retract that. I am looking at the member who did say it.
Orders of the Day
Let us all take a deep breath. I know it is early. I agree with the member for Saanich—Gulf Islands that normally we would be doing something different this morning. I know we have already been at it for three days now. We have today and tomorrow still to go to make sure that everybody has an opportunity to speak to this important motion.

Orders of the Day
Questions and comments, the hon. member for Calgary Shepard.
