I thank the hon. member for raising this point, but there was a unanimous consent request and a member clearly said no. This reminds me of how important it is for all House leaders and whips to coordinate when a request for unanimous consent is made, to ensure that there is in fact unanimous consent. A number of Speakers have already ruled on the matter and offered members some sound advice, namely that when they say there is unanimous consent, they should make sure there really is unanimous consent, because it is important not to waste the House's time. The hon. member for New Westminster—Burnaby on a point of order.
