conMay 17, 2012 1:45 pm | Ontario, Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—BrockOrder, please. The question is over. Before I go to the answer, I would like to remind all hon. members that in a five-minute question and answer period we try to get two questions in and two answers. That is about a minute and fifteen seconds per person. I would encourage all hon. members, as they are addressing the Chair, to look for signals that their time is coming to a close. I reluctantly cut people off, but this afternoon the questions and the answers have been drifting longer and longer.
With that, I will give the member about five seconds to put the question.

The hon. parliamentary secretary.
- MPconMay 17, 2012 10:00 am | Ontario, Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—Brock
Order, please. I am not sure that is a point of order, but rather a point of debate.
Questions and comments, the hon. member for Winnipeg North.
- MPconMay 17, 2012 9:25 am | Ontario, Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—Brock
Questions and comments? Resuming debate? Is the House ready for the question?
- MPconMay 15, 2012 3:05 pm | Ontario, Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—Brock
In my opinion the nays have it.
And five or more members having risen:

The hon. member for Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier.
- MPconMay 10, 2012 12:40 pm | Ontario, Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—Brock
As the member and others are no doubt aware, members are routinely given latitude in terms of relevance. This is particularly true when the House is dealing with the throne speech and budget. There have been many references to the scope of the bill. I would encourage all hon. members to speak of things that are related to the bill, realizing how broad it is.
The hon. member for Selkirk—Interlake.

The Chair would like to reiterate what I said a couple of minutes ago, which was that I think the best course forward is to allow the hon. member for Westmount—Ville-Marie to review the statement that was made, and that the hon. member has the right, at any time, to bring forward a point of privilege in this place, and that rather than members speaking on behalf of others, we could proceed and we will see where this takes us. We will put it in that context.
The hon. member for Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine.

Order. I will respond to the two points of order.
I think the member for Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine answered his own question. In the budget debate, the Minister of Finance has unlimited time, as does the first speaker after, which is typically the finance critic from the official opposition. The hon. member for Burnaby—New Westminster has unlimited time.
I would ask all members to note two things. First, points of order are important in this place and the process of raising points of order ought not be abused. Second, if any member has questions about procedure or the rules of the House, the appropriate process is to ask at their desk in the lobby or to approach the table. Asking for clarification of the rules is in itself not a point of order.
Resuming debate, the hon. member for Burnaby—New Westminster.
