Statements by Members

After asking one member to please not raise their voice, I am going to ask the hon. member for Niagara Falls to please not do so as well, as well as all other members.

Oral Questions

I thank the hon. parliamentary secretary. As I mentioned, the formulation of the words was correct. I was pointing out to members, as I pointed out yesterday, that we were skating close to the line, and I was asking members to take great care in how they express themselves. As to the first example the hon. member used, that comment was clearly considered unparliamentary and was dealt with at the t…

Oral Questions

I am going to allow the hon. member to continue. If members do not appreciate the point of order, I invite them, at their turn, to rise on a point of order. Otherwise, I invite them to allow the Chair to listen, uninterrupted, to the member. The hon. member for Saanich—Gulf Islands.

The hon. Minister for Indigenous Services is rising on the same point of order. The Chair has heard some good conversations about this and will come back on it, so I would ask the hon. member to be brief and to the point.

The hon. member for Calgary Nose Hill is rising on the same point of order. The Chair has heard a fair bit of comment, and I know that members have important work to continue, so I will ask the hon. member, just as I asked the hon. minister, to be brief and to the point.

Oral Questions

Colleagues, thank you for your input. I appreciate what you have raised. The Chair, on a number of occasions, and not only this Chair but previous people who have held this position, has raised the importance of using language that is befitting of this place and the people who sent us here. I always encourage members to exercise some restraint when talking about people who are not in the House to …

We have a point of order from the hon. member for Regina—Qu'Appelle.

Government Orders

Let me reassure the hon. member for King—Vaughan, no one appreciates that. She is justified, and that is why the hon. member withdrew his comment. The Speaker accepts the withdrawal, and as you just heard, encourages all people to not go to that line. Do not skate close to that line, and then we will all have better debates. The hon. parliamentary secretary has the floor.

Government Orders

I am now ready to rule on the point of order raised on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, by the member for Edmonton Griesbach concerning comments made during question period that same Wednesday. Midway through question period that day, at a point when the Chair was standing and calling the House to order, heckles coming from one side of the House could be heard. The source of the comment was not imme…

The hon. member knows the power of that word, and I am glad he withdrew it right away. However, I will ask the hon. member, and all hon. members, this: Please do not go to that line.

Government Orders

I would like to remind the hon. member for Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier and all members not to mention the presence or absence of members.

I invite the hon. member to take his seat. Colleagues, before we proceed to oral questions, I want to say that, since returning from the summer recess, many questions and comments in the House have gone too far.

Colleagues, as we know, question period is of a limited time, which I have been reminded of many times.

Therefore, I will ask hon. members to please not do so. The hon. member for Mégantic—L'Érable.
