Colleagues, it is important, once again, to remind ourselves that when we take the floor, we are expected to listen to the questions and the answers. I ask all members to please restrain themselves, to follow the leadership of their whips and respect members who have the floor. The hon. member for Sarnia—Lambton.

I am afraid the hon. member, even before asking his question, is soliciting noes in the House. Once again, I encourage all members to please try to negotiate their requests for unanimous consent so we can make sure we use our time most efficiently.

Unfortunately, the hon. member for Regina—Lewvan does not have consent. It is really important to again remind members, as well as Canadians watching at home, that requesting unanimous consent is a very important tool for members of Parliament and for Parliament itself to consider issues that are timely and cannot be considered through the normal process. Normally, the process is that members consult with the leadership teams of all officially recognized parties, and the independents, to negotiate ahead of time to save time for members to present their points of order. I am happy to recognize members on points of order, but it would be respectful to other members in the House if members were to make serious efforts at seeking unanimous consent. I recongnize the hon. member, a former chair and current House officer, the member for Regina—Qu'Appelle, who is rising on a point of order.

I regret interrupting the hon. member for Regina—Qu'Appelle, but there is clearly no unanimous consent. The hon. member for South Shore—St. Margarets is rising on a point of order. I hope the hon. member has done the honourable thing and has consulted other members before seeking unanimous consent.

Unfortunately, there is no unanimous consent. Members are really using up the time that is valuable to those who have other business in the House.

We will begin where we left off. The hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader had just finished his speech, and we were beginning questions and comments. I apologize for speaking English. I invite my hon. colleague, the member for Louis‑Saint‑Laurent, who is well known for his mastery of the language of Molière to come back to the question that he started asking earlier before he was interrupted.
