We were still in the MPI. The minister sought the call. The minister did not move anything, but the minister did ask—and this is my best recollection of a quotation, in case it's wrong—that the business of the day be brought on. I then stood up and asked whether the MPI was still before the House or whether there was a motion now before the House. I was told that there was no motion before the House because no motion had been moved. While this was happening, the MPI ran out of time. So I'm not sure now whether we're still in the MPI or whether we're not. If we're not, because of the effluxion of time, I'm seeking the call.
