Speaking of being out of time, I am going to give the reminder that I have not given in a while, so I am pretty happy that I get to do it: the shorter the questions and the shorter the answers, the more people who get to participate in the debate we are having today. Resuming debate, the hon. member for Saskatoon—University.

Mr. Speaker, it is another day that we have the privilege of rising in the House to speak for our constituents back home. I see some of my hon. colleagues who I was with for several hours last night at committee. It was great to finish clause-by-clause of Bill C-50, the sustainable jobs act, which will assist citizens across our country. I am happy to participate—

To the original point that was raised by the member for Elmwood—Transcona, after consultation with the table, I can say that, when one is in in the chamber, one is expected to stay in one's seat and not move around. If a member is voting electronically and coming into the chamber, it is fine to come in, take their seat and prepare to participate in person. However, if a member is voting in the chamber, for their vote to count, they must stay in their seat until the vote is announced. I also ask members, while they are voting here all night, that if they are coming into the chamber to correct or to confirm a vote, to follow the rules expected for men. They should wear ties in this place if they wish to address the House to clarify their vote. If they are participating via Zoom, they do not require a tie. The hon. member for Perth—Wellington is rising on a point of order.

Mr. Speaker, we have been told time and time again that it is the same to participate virtually and in person. Are you now saying that this is not the case? Are you contradicting yourself?
