Oral Questions

I thank the hon. member for having done that. We will move on.

Oral Questions

I wish to return to a point of order raised yesterday concerning language that was alleged to be used by the member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes. While the comment does not appear in yesterday's Debates, the member seemed to acknowledge having made the remark, in response to a point of order. It is possible to ask pointed questions and criticize the government's actions wi…

Oral Questions

The whole lead-up to that point would not lend credence to that, and the Chair interpreted it as being referenced to a particular member. Out of respect to this Chair, and by extension to all members of the House, I am going to ask the hon. member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes to please withdraw that comment. I will ask the hon. member for a third time, if he would please d…

Oral Questions

Mr. Barrett, I have to name you for disregarding the authority of the Chair. Pursuant to the authority granted to me by Standing Order 11, I order you to withdraw from the House and from any participation by video conference or by electronic voting system for the remainder of this day's sitting. [And Mr. Barrett having withdrawn:]

Oral Questions

I have one more issue to raise from question period.

Oral Questions

Colleagues, I am not certain if this is the level and standard of behaviour that Canadians expect us to have. It is important for us to respect this place, to respect the Speaker on behalf of yourselves and to ensure that we do this in an appropriate fashion. I am going to ask the hon. member for South Shore—St. Margarets, who earlier today had used the word “corrupt” in regard to a particular mem…

Oral Questions

I thank the hon. parliamentary secretary. I did not hear that comment, and I will take a look at the Hansard and come back to the House if necessary.

Oral Questions

I thank the hon. member for Yorkton—Melville for raising this point of order. This point of order, as a matter of fact, was raised before the break to one of the assistant Speakers. There was a ruling that came out of it. Of course, members should not do indirectly what they cannot do directly. That was a ruling that came from this chair just very recently. As members know, even when quoting from …

Oral Questions

Colleagues, today we have been skating close to the line in terms of—

Oral Questions

Excuse me, colleagues. I will start my comment again, if members would give me the privilege of listening. On several occasions today we have been skating close to the line in terms of what is acceptable language. I think the hon. member for Leeds—Grenville has skated over that line, directly accusing a member. I ask the hon. member to withdraw that comment and start his question from the top, ple…

Order. Honourable members, it is important that the Chair be able to hear the point being raised by the hon. member for Edmonton Strathcona. I could not hear much after the reference to the poppy.
