On a point of order, Mr. Chair, I want to come back to and acknowledge that the chair recognized Mr. Watson and that a legitimate motion has been put forward. It seems to me—and I look to the chair's ruling on this—that this is the motion that we should deal with. I think it's substantive. I think it's eminently reasonable. I'm not sure why the vice-chair from the opposition has such objections to dealing with this.
Her amendment, which you have ruled inappropriate or out of order, is one thing, and now as a result of that it would appear that what she's trying to do is to then make it a coincident motion. I don't think that's allowed under the rules.
I think we recognized Mr. Watson, and I think his motion has to be dealt with.
Thank you.

On a point of order, Mr. Chair, the rules, according to the Standing Orders, say that a very substantive motion requires 48 hours' notice. Mr. Watson's motion didn't have 48 hours, as you just pointed out.
The Chair: Correct.
Mr. Olivia Chow: That's why I was moving a motion to waive the requirement so that we can debate Mr. Watson's motion. That was what I was trying to do. At the same time, you have seen my motion in front of you. Let's not waste time and get bogged down with parliamentary rules. I know them as well as you do, so let's waive the requirements for the 48 hours.
If five minutes later, Mr. Holder, you want to move a motion related to studying rail safety systems, let's do it. Let's just get on with this.

The motion I moved relates to the business at hand, and I don't believe it requires the requisite notice. Neither would her motion or her amendment require any additional notice if she wanted to move it as a separate motion. It relates to the business at hand.

Based on your comment, Mr. Watson, you're saying that no unanimous consent is required.

Is yours a point of order or of privilege?

It is a point of order on what I just heard on the point of privilege. I believe I have—please don't make that face at me.

There's a point of order. Who's raising it?

Mr. Chair, the minister is trying to answer Ms. Duncan's questions. If she'd just give him another 10 seconds.... I'm actually interested in the answers to some of her questions.

On a point of order, Mr. Chair.
If I may, I find it impossible to listen to the minister's evidence when the member questioning him keeps interrupting his answers. I would ask the chair to direct the member to allow the witness to answer the questions before she interrupts him, please.
Thank you.

I've repeatedly asked for permission for the minister to respond to the question and you are—

The minister is not answering my question. That is why I asked it again.

Mr. Chair, despite all the admiration I have for the position you occupy, I think it is essential that we understand the situation we are in today. We have asked questions repeatedly, but unfortunately, the topic is being avoided. We have very little time with the minister. As you know, we only have an hour to spend with him. We would have liked to have two. Had that been the case, we could have had a second question period, and asked our questions again and taken the time to hear all of the minister's points.
Since we have very little time, we want to obtain answers to the questions we raise. If I talk about the cost of the sectoral approach and the minister starts to talk to me about the exchange in Europe, he is not answering my question. Since we are very pressed for time, my colleague took the liberty of repeating her question.
Mr. Chair, I think that your decision to deprive my colleague of the speaking time she had left should be reconsidered. I think that she has the right to have the two minutes she had left. And so I humbly ask you, Mr. Chair, how many minutes my colleague had left, and if she had any left, why you decided to withdraw it from her and give it to someone else, who is, as it happens, a Conservative member.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Choquette.
If we had followed my direction, we would now be halfway through the Conservative members, and the NDP members would actually have had an extra question.
You were going to finish the round today. You've ceded that time. I'm going to move to Mr. Storseth at this point.
Thank you.
Mr. Storseth.
