The issue of housing is a broad one.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Obviously, we are meeting here in Parliament, in Ottawa, in the middle of the summer. I heard someone say earlier that this meeting was ridiculous and was going to cost taxpayers money. That's precisely the issue. We have to shed light on what's going on before spending $1.45 billion. I think it's important that the committee is holding this emergency meeting in the summer, [more]

I just want to make sure I understand. The person opposite started speaking again without saying that he was introducing a motion. We were following a list, and I had some points to make. Basically—

I'd just like some clarification. When my colleague took the floor again, did we go back to the old list? He didn't specify that it was a motion, and I have things to say.

We are currently praising Build Canada Homes, but that is not what our motion is about. We want to discuss a specific issue.

On a point of order, Mr. Chair. I just want to clarify something, because it seems we are trying to clarify the facts. As the Premier of British Columbia says this comes from the federal government, we need to come back to that.

I have a point of order.

I'd just like to say one thing. When I'm talking to the chair, I don't need other members talking to me. I'm not addressing them. They should stop talking. I'm asking for clarification.

Are you talking with the chair? I just want to make sure.

He didn't say that at the beginning. He started talking. Are we going back to the old list? What's going on?

I just want to remind the member that the purpose of a point of order isn't to ask about the speaking order. It is to flag an immediate problem.

On a point of order.
