As I said previously, and it is very well established, that it is at the discretion of the Speaker to determine when he or she feels he or she has heard enough of an argument.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5434264\" data-originallang=\"en\"> As it turned out, in fact, the point of order from the hon. member for <a data-HoCid=\"214462\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">Carleton</a> was in my view on the same topic. Whether or not a member declares personally that orders of the day have or have not started is beside the point. Orders of the day had been called. It has commenced. I had called for debate. We are under way. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5434265\" data-originallang=\"en\">Members may not like that, I recognize that, but the hon. government House leader now has the floor. I have heard enough as I have indicated.</p>",

Comme je l'ai dit tout \u00e0 l'heure, c'est la pr\u00e9rogative de la pr\u00e9sidence de d\u00e9terminer quand elle en a assez entendu, et les pr\u00e9c\u00e9dents sont sans \u00e9quivoque.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5434264\" data-originallang=\"en\">En l'occurrence, le recours au R\u00e8glement du d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"214462\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">Carleton</a> portait \u00e0 mon avis sur le m\u00eame sujet. Qu'un d\u00e9put\u00e9 d\u00e9clare qu'\u00e0 son humble avis, nous n'en sommes pas encore \u00e0 l'ordre du jour n'a aucune valeur. La pr\u00e9sidence a annonc\u00e9 l'ordre du jour. Nous en sommes l\u00e0. J'ai annonc\u00e9 que le d\u00e9bat \u00e9tait entam\u00e9, alors il est commenc\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5434265\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma d\u00e9cision d\u00e9pla\u00eet peut-\u00eatre \u00e0 certains, j'en suis conscient, mais la parole est \u00e0 la leader du gouvernement \u00e0 la Chambre. Je l'ai dit et je le r\u00e9p\u00e8te: j'en ai assez entendu.</p>"
