The Speaker delivered the following ruling:-

Le Président a rendu la décision suivante :-

The Member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes (Mr. Clark) has given me notice of his intention to raise a point of privilege in regard to a petition presented yesterday by the Member for Toronto—St. Paul’s (Ms. Andrew).

In his notice the Member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes asserts that by stating “I’m proud to rise on behalf of the former Pages serving from February 19 to March 7 in groups SP19-1,” and “I proudly sign this petition on behalf of former Pages, serving from February 19 to March 7 in group SP19-1” the Member for Toronto—St Paul’s intentionally misled the House as to who signed the petition that was presented.

I am now prepared to rule on the matter without hearing further from the Member as Standing Order 21(d) permits me to do.

Let me say from the outset, that I too was concerned when hearing that our Legislative Pages were referenced during a proceeding yesterday. It is my sincere hope that no Member would use these fine young students to make a political point.

However, our Pages are residents of the Province of Ontario and enjoy all the rights of civic engagement once their time with us is complete.

While the Member for Toronto—St Paul’s did not state that the signatories to this petition were in fact former Pages as alleged by the Member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, I can confirm that the name of a former Page from SP19-1 does appear on the petition that was presented yesterday.

For this reason, I find that a prima facie case of contempt has not been made.
