Routine Proceedings

I thank the member for that point of order on the use of that particular word. That word has been used in the House before. I would say that without it being preceded by words like “wilful”, “deliberate” or “intentional”, in this particular case, no individual member was singled out or mentioned in the House as having engaged in that behaviour. Therefore, I did not rise to call the minister to ord…
