MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections] – Hon. Speaker, as I finish my point of order, we believe that there is something scandalous that was taking place between your Chair and the Chair of the Clerk of Parliament – [HON.

Thank you.

THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: Hon. Member, there is no need for an investigation because I was not here from the beginning. Mr. Clerk was advising me on what took place while I was away. So there is nothing scandalous here.
