¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, Standing Order 92(2)(b) states:

¶ 02 “Except when a division is being taken for the purpose of recording votes, in the performance of any business of Parliament, the proper procedure shall be followed …”

¶ 03 This should be stopped, Hon. Speaker. What is this? People keep coming in and dragging in irrelevant things, claiming a point of order. Please stop this.
