Thank you, Minister. Colleagues, our time for oral questions have expired. Member for Great Slave.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to rise on a point of order. During oral questions, the Minister of Health and Social Services contravened Rule 24(h) and (i) by making an allegation against me and impugning false motives to me by saying I was gratified by collecting the mental health horror stories of constituents. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Member for Great Slave. I will allow debate on both points of orders at this time. We'll start with the first one that we had, the one that Ms. Green brought forward, and then we will deal with hers. We'll do it now. Please continue.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to suggest this debate be deferred until tomorrow so that I can consult the Hansard record to capture exactly what the Member said. Thank you.

Is that on your point of order?

Yes.

Okay. We will continue with the Member for Great Slave's point of order today. I will allow debate.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also respectfully request that I can defer this until tomorrow so that I can also check Hansard, as well as allow myself to calm down and speak to this matter properly. Thank you.

Okay. We will continue tomorrow. Please check Hansard and do your research, and we will continue tomorrow. Thank you very much. Item 11, written questions. Item 12, returns to written questions.
