I appreciate that the hon. member raised an issue on something that the Chair did not hear.

In reference to the same point of order which was raised by the member for Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, the Speaker has heard enough on this issue, and I will encourage members, please, to take the conversation beyond the curtains. Questions and comments, the hon. member for Chatham-Kent—Leamington.
