I am familiar with that rule. In fact, it cost a member a question today, but I will look into the 10th question and get back to the House if necessary. The hon. member for Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna.

I see the situations as being a bit different, but we will get back to the member on that. The hon. member had to read the standing order; he does not know it by heart.

I thank the hon. Leader of the Opposition for his intervention. However, I am not satisfied that this request meets the requirements of the Standing Orders at this time. That being said, I know this is a topic of great interest to many members. I want to assure the House that I am open to reconsidering the request at a later date if the situation warrants it.

It is called being on the cusp of disorder. I will let the member continue, but let us not try to be provocative. That is the key. Let us not try to be provocative on either side, because that just leads to disorder.

Excuse me. We are in debate, so we have one person speaking at a time. I understand there can be heckling from time to time, which is a normal part of House affairs, but that was a bit more than a heckle and was entering into debate. We will let the member for Kamloops—Thompson—Nicola continue.

Members must be careful about the language they use. The language used does not break any rules, but it may provoke a certain reaction, and one reaction can lead to another. Together, these two reactions may cause disorder. The right hon. Prime Minister.

It is my pleasure to lay before the House, in both official languages, the fourth edition of House of Commons Procedure and Practice. As many hon. members know, the first three editions were respectively published in 2000, 2009 and 2017. Each of these additions quickly became an essential reference not only for those who work on Parliament Hill, but also for those off the Hill who have an interest…

I would like to clarify something. I know the member is a new member, but when it comes to presenting petitions, let us not get into debate.
