I was just going to remind the Speaker on what my colleague said about when we debated the Official Languages Act in Norman Wells. I spoke my language, and we had to shut down the whole House for the whole day before they got the interpreter. So the point I wanted to point out to the Speaker; I am sure he is aware of the rules that we have in place. He knows them better than I do, I think. If someone objects in a formal sitting on a point of order, we have to shut down the House in order for them to have that service available. I just wanted to note that, because it could happen. Although he indicated that there are people up in the gallery that can speak my own language, but it won't be translated. If other Members don't know what I am talking about, if they raise a point of order, they could literally shut us down or even ask a Minister a question during question period. The Minister would rise on a point of order and say, I don't know what he is saying. I just wanted to note that, Mr. Chair.
