I am prepared to give a bit of leeway in the way the hon. member brings the subject forth, but we do have to go back to the subject of the motion.

If I may, the hon. member started, in the first nine minutes or so of this intervention, to speak strictly to the question of privilege. It is in the past five minutes that he has been on this subject.

I would remind the member, please, that we are approaching the end of the member's time, so could we go back to the relevance of the question of privilege.
Private Members' Business

I am going to listen to advice and will be back in a few moments. The hon. member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes.

I get the hon. member's point. I will get back to the House. On advice, I would like to remind the hon. member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes that: A Member recognized on a question of privilege is expected to be brief and concise in explaining the event which has given rise to the question of privilege and the reasons that consideration of the event complained of should be … Read full speechShow less

On advice, I would like to remind the hon. member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes that: A Member recognized on a question of privilege is expected to be brief and concise in explaining the event which has given rise to the question of privilege and the reasons that consideration of the event complained of should be given precedence over other House business. I will give the hon. member a few more minutes to make his point. This is just a reminder to be concise in explaining his reasons.
Routine Proceedings
I have been trying to be quite open to the hon. member's position in that the hon. member is presenting multiple points of privilege, but notice was given of one point of privilege. We have allowed for 45 minutes of presentation and argument. I would invite the member to try to sum it up in the next five minutes or so. We usually allow for the argument on a question of privilege once the Speaker h… Read full speechShow less

We usually allow for the argument on a question of privilege once the Speaker has made a ruling on it.
Routine Proceedings
I will quote the hon. member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes's letter, which was received this morning. It does say, “'In the interest of bringing clarity to this procedure from now on, the Chair will not accept notices of questions of privilege based on committee reports until after the reports are tabled'”, quoting a ruling of Milliken, and which we did.

I will quote the hon. member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes's letter, which was received this morning. It does say, “'In the interest of bringing clarity to this procedure from now on, the Chair will not accept notices of questions of privilege based on committee reports until after the reports are tabled'”, quoting a ruling of Milliken, and which we did. The hon. member goes onto say, “I will argue that the report makes out no fewer than seven breaches of privilege in relation to failures” and it goes on. The letter refers to one presentation. It says, “Should you find a prima facie case of privilege, I intend to move a motion which I have attached in draft”. This is, as I explained earlier, the normal procedure. When we receive notices of questions of privilege, we get a summary of what the question of privilege is. The Speaker then makes a ruling on the order of the question, and then the hon. member will have the opportunity to present the full case. The hon. member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes.
Routine Proceedings
I thank the member for her contribution. I will answer the point made by the member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes. We have allowed for 45 minutes of presentation of arguments so far. Whereas the member claims there are seven different points, they are very similar, as are the arguments the member has brought forth.

I thank the member for her contribution. I will answer the point made by the member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes. We have allowed for 45 minutes of presentation of arguments so far. Whereas the member claims there are seven different points, they are very similar, as are the arguments the member has brought forth. I will allow for another few minutes of this, but when I am satisfied I have heard enough to go to the consideration of the prima facie case, I will then resume the proceedings. The hon. member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes has the floor.
Routine Proceedings
I call the hon. member to order. I think I have heard the gist of the question of privilege and we will proceed to orders of the day. I have made the decision. The hon. member for Cowichan—Malahat—Langford.
Routine Proceedings
The hon. member is duly noted. The hon. member for Manicouagan.
