In any case, I believe it to be consistent with the rules of this Parliament, this democracy, this institution, to ask for unanimous consent on any issue at any time.</p>\n<p>It is not a matter of questioning the Chair's ruling but of asking for unanimous consent, which in the present case has unfortunately been refused. We have always respectfully abided by the decisions of the Chair and of parliamentarians from all the parties represented in this House.</p>",
