Madam Speaker, I was trying to get your attention earlier to speak on the point of order that was raised earlier. I just want to support that the member for Lethbridge was repeatedly told to stop heckling by the Speaker. Consistently, the Conservatives have failed to respect the Chair and to respect the rules in this place, which are supposed to govern us all. On the idea that it is unfair in some way, Madam Speaker, you gave many opportunities for that member to be recognized or to withdraw what she was doing and she failed to do so. The fact that the Conservatives continue to challenge the Chair in an indirect way I find is entirely disrespectful. The chief opposition whip had an opportunity to address this. All parties had a chance to address this. The decision is with the Speaker currently. I suggest that the Conservatives respect this chamber, that they respect you, Madam Chair, and that they stop these games.
