The Speaker delivered the following ruling:-

On Wednesday, March 29, the Member for Haldimand-Norfolk-Brant, Mr. Barrett, provided me with written notice of his intention to raise a point of privilege, as required by Standing Order 21(c). I would like to thank the Member for giving me sufficient time to review this matter.

The Member's point of privilege concerns security in and around the Legislative Precinct.

I wish to advise that I will be deciding on this matter without further hearing directly from the Member at this time, as Standing Order 21(d) permits me to do.

I have carefully reviewed the Member's written submission and cannot find that he has made out a prima facie case of privilege.

I want to note that the Member and I have met personally to discuss this matter, and I have written to the Member to provide clarification on certain points related to the issues he has raised. As this is a matter that lies within the administrative jurisdiction of the Speaker, I believe this is the appropriate way to deal with this issue, and I thank the Member for providing this opportunity to do so.
