Thank you. Yes, the Leader of the House was on his feet. There was a bit of temperature here in the House. He was the next speaker. To facilitate the House, it seemed to me proper to allow him to continue. There was no indication in relation to avoiding the standing orders when the Speaker is on his feet. Please accept that. The motion before the House is that the member for Lalor be no longer heard.

Question put.
