THE AFTERNOON SITTING 1:30 P.M. |
SÉANCE DE L'APRÈS-MIDI 13 H 30 |
The Speaker delivered the following rulings:-
On November 22, and again on December 5, the member for Timiskaming (Mr Ramsay) rose on a question of privilege. According to the member, a ministry plan to monitor the activities of civil servants near members' offices and to monitor their complaints to members impinged on his privilege to freely associate with his constituents. On December 12, the member for Hamilton East (Mr Agostino) rose on a question of privilege to say that a ministry was requiring a constituent's written consent before it would allow a member to make inquiries to the ministry on behalf of that constituent. According to the member, such an administrative requirement prevented members from properly and effectively representing their constituents.
Since the concerns of both members are related, I will deal with them together. Let me begin by making a few remarks on the nature of privilege. As Speaker Edighoffer stated (at page 147 of our Journals for December 10, 1985), "it is only in very extreme circumstances that there can come to the House a legitimate case of privilege on the basis of the real and accepted and traditional definition of parliamentary privilege." In a similar vein, citation 24 of the 6th edition of Beauchesne states that "[t]he privileges of Parliament are rights which are `absolutely necessary for the due execution of its powers.'"
There are many precedents dealing with the extent to which parliamentary privilege applies to members' activities outside this House. For example, in a February 20, 1975 ruling, Speaker Jerome of the House of Commons at Ottawa stated the following (at page 308 of the Journals for that day):
The consequences of extending the definition of privilege to innumerable areas outside this Chamber into which the work of a Member of Parliament might carry him, and particularly to the greater number of grievances he might encounter in the course of that work would, in terms of that definition, run contrary to the basic concept of privilege.
In our own Assembly, a ruling (at page 8,339 of our Hansard for December 7, 1994) states that "the parameters of parliamentary privilege are very narrow and were only intended to protect the activities of members while carrying out their legislative duties in the chamber and in its committees."
Let me also say that previous Speakers of this Assembly have also ruled that a member's complaint that a ministry's administrative procedure was impeding members' ability to assist their constituents was not a matter of privilege. In this regard, I refer to rulings at page 256 of our Hansard for March 27, 1991 and page 6,479 of our Hansard for May 30, 1994.
Based on these authorities and precedents, I find that a prima facie case of privilege has not been established with respect to the concerns raised by the member for Timiskaming and by the member for Hamilton East. Nevertheless, I thank those members for raising their concerns.
On a separate but related matter, on December 12 the member for Ottawa Centre (Mr Patten) rose on a question of privilege to express his disagreement with part of a reply that a minister had made in a previous Question Period. The member also requested that the minister correct the record.
In response, let me say that my review of the parliamentary authorities and our precedents indicates that a difference of opinion or a disagreement as to the facts is not a matter of privilege. In this regard, rulings at page 115 of our Journals for July 17, 1989 and page 227 of our Journals for June 9, 1988 approved the following statement in citation 31 of Beauchesne:
A dispute arising between two Members, as to allegations of facts, does not fulfil the conditions of parliamentary privilege.
To this, let me add that a member is entitled to rise on a point of personal explanation in order to correct his or her own record. In this regard, I refer members to rulings at page 716 of our Hansard for December 1, 1987 and page 1,964 of our Hansard for February 10, 1988. It is not for the Speaker or a member to require another member to correct his or her record.
In closing, I find that the concerns of the member for Ottawa Centre amount to an expression of disagreement rather than a matter of privilege. Nevertheless, I thank him for his interest.
During "Oral Questions" the Speaker repeatedly requested the member for Windsor-Walkerville (Mr Duncan) to come to order.
The member having refused was named by the Speaker and directed to withdraw from the service of the House for the balance of the day's sitting.
