I heard no on at least three occasions. I will ask all colleagues who are leaving the chamber to carry on with your conversations outside of the chamber. I see many people rising on points of order. To the hon. member for Edmonton Manning, unfortunately I heard many people say no to the demand for unanimous consent. The Minister for Women and Gender Equality is rising on a point of order. Some hon. members: No. The Speaker: Order. I am going to remind members that, when there is an opportunity for the House to consider points of order on unanimous consent motions, it is very helpful for members to ensure that they have asked and sought unanimous consent, at least from the House officers, so we could negotiate. That is not a rule, as an hon. member pointed out, but it is a very good practice so that members' time, which is very valuable, is being best used. We have had two members rise, one a minister, and there was no unanimous consent. I see other people rising on points of order. We have seen on two occasions members rise who have been immediately shouted down with noes. That is an indication to the Chair that there is no unanimous consent. It is also an indication to the Chair that there have been no negotiations and discussions beforehand to try to have these unanimous consent motions adopted. The hon. member for Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan is rising on a point of order.

I am again hearing noes. Colleagues, I am going to continue recognizing members who are rising, but I would suggest to members who have not negotiated or sought some arrangement that it would be in their interest to do so rather than waste time. The hon. member for Dufferin—Caledon.

I thank the hon. member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes for rising on that point of order. I do not know if the member for Windsor—Tecumseh would like to take to his feet. If that language is unparliamentary, I will certainly take a look at it, but if the member wants to get up and pre-empt the work of the Speaker, it would certainly be appreciated.
