Senate Volume 153, Issue 166

44th Parl. 1st Sess.

Hon. Jean-Guy Dagenais: I am also rising on a point of order. Last Thursday, I had the same problem. I rose to ask a question. Obviously, we needed five more minutes, so leave was sought for that, but someone refused. The fact that they didn’t see me . . . It was as though I was ignored.

I don’t know if it’s the area where we are seated in this chamber, but we have been ignored for some time now. You were not in the chair. That was the Hon. the Speaker pro tempore, Senator Ringuette. I am not blaming her, but if the place where we are seated in the chamber is adversely affecting us, then we should change places.

On Thursday, I rose to speak, I was not seen and I was not allowed to ask my question. The same thing is now happening to Senator Patterson. I think that’s too bad. I mentioned it on Thursday, and now it’s happening again today.
