Before we resume debate, I will advise the hon. member that, unfortunately, I will have to interrupt him at one point. The hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader.

I appreciate the additional information that was provided on this particular matter. I, as Assistant Deputy Speaker, was not in the chair on Friday and, therefore, am not prepared to rule immediately. What I will do, though, is to take the additional information the hon. member has provided into consideration along with the info to the point that was raised on Friday. In addition, I would like to remind all members that, when they join virtually, they are, in fact, always considered to be in the room. When I am, in particular, sitting in this chair, there is always someone who is probably unaware that their screen is right in front of me. I want to remind members to be extremely respectful of Parliament. As well, members should ensure that, if they need to leave their screens for whatever reason or have an interruption that they need to tend to, they should make sure they log off or ensure that their screens are completely off. I am deeply concerned by this matter, given the fact that there have been other incidents in the past. It is certainly something that the chair occupants and the Speaker himself will take into consideration and come back to the House with a ruling on.

I thank the hon. member for Salaberry—Suroît for elaborating on the question of privilege. This issue has been raised before. We will examine the additional information provided by the member today and get back to the House with a ruling.

Pursuant to Standing Order 67.1, there will now be a 30-minute question period. I invite hon. members who wish to ask questions to rise in their places or use the “raise hand” function so the Chair has some idea of the number of members who wish to participate in this question period. Questions and comments, the hon. opposition House leader.

I want to remind the official opposition House leader that he had an opportunity to ask a question, and if he has more, there will be an opportunity to ask more. It is not polite to interrupt the government House leader while he is responding. The hon. member for Salaberry—Suroît.

The hon. government House leader needs to address all questions and comments through the Chair and not directly to the members or their party. The hon. member for New Westminster—Burnaby.

Order. The hon. member for Vancouver East.

I appreciate the hon. member's interruption. It is something that I was going to raise as soon as the hon. member had finished. I would ask members not to attack individual members in the House in that way. I trust that the member will offer an apology before he continues his remarks, which I am going to ask him to wrap up soon.

I just want to ask the member whether he is going to apologize to the member.

I would ask the member to respond to that and finish his question, so that I can get to the hon. member, because we are running out of time and I am going to have to start cutting questions on that side of the House.

I just want to remind members that name calling is really not a very professional thing to do, especially in this House. The hon. government House leader.

I am sorry; the hon. member for Prince George—Peace River—Northern Rockies is rising on a point of order.

That is debate, and I have been hearing a lot of heckling on that side of the House. I would ask members to respect the fact that other members have the floor. The hon. member can ask her question, because I have other parliamentarians who want to ask questions as well. The hon. member for Vancouver East.

Again, the hon. member for Prince George—Peace River—Northern Rockies is rising on a point of order.

Again, that is a point of debate. The hon. government House leader has the floor.

It is my duty to interrupt the proceedings at this time and put forthwith the question on the motion now before the House. The question is on the motion. Shall I dispense? Some hon. members: No. [Chair read text of motion to House] The Assistant Deputy Speaker (Mrs. Carol Hughes): If a member of a recognized party present in the House wishes to request a recorded division or that the motion be adopted on division, I would invite them to rise and indicate it to the Chair.

Call in the members.

Order. The hon. member for Terrebonne is making a speech. I would ask the members who are talking to their colleagues to leave the chamber or wait until later to chat with colleagues. The hon. member for Terrebonne may continue.
