The Speaker addressed the House as follows:- |
Le Président s'adresse à l'Assemblée comme suit:- |
|
||
|
I would like to beg the indulgence of the House for just a few minutes to allow me to respond to a concern raised on Tuesday by the Member for Carleton-Mississippi Mills relating to the use of language in this Chamber. The Member will know that the first requirement for the Speaker before calling any member to order for the use of unparliamentary language is that he has to have heard it. If he hears it, the Speaker then has to consider the context, tone and propensity to cause disorder of the language used. For this reason, words and phrases allowed in one instance may not be so in another. This is also why Speakers refrain from ruling after the fact even if a review of Hansard suggests that similar or even identical language was used. Hansard cannot reveal the tone or reaction. In the case at hand, the member for Newmarket-Aurora repeatedly employed the use of unparliamentary language with an accusatory tone while the Minister was trying to answer. While I do try to exercise the greatest latitude during Question Period, in this instance I was left with little choice but to intervene. Having said that, my review of Hansard did reveal that there were perhaps more instances of intemperate language from both sides of the House than is necessary. I would therefore ask that all members heed my ruling delivered just this week, and moderate their language. There should be no impediment to conducting oneself honourably even in the "cut and thrust" of Question Period. |
