PRIÈRES 13 H 30

The Speaker addressed the House as follows:-

I would like to beg the indulgence of the House to make a short statement today on order and decorum.

This statement arises out of my increasing concern over the last several weeks for the dignity of this Chamber and its Parliamentary traditions. I find that the use of unparliamentary language is becoming commonplace. This is unacceptable. Members should refer to each other with respect and in a manner in which they themselves would like to be addressed. All members of this House are Honourable and should be treated as such.

This Chamber is the focal point for parliamentary debate and should not be used for actions that do not support that function. Demonstrations in this House by the public or by members themselves are out of order. I would ask all members to take this into consideration the next time they consider making their point by unparliamentary action rather than parliamentary words.

Other Speakers have made statements similar to this one. I myself have addressed this House before on such issues and I again ask members on all sides of this House to conduct themselves honourably and to co-operate in imposing on themselves the order and decorum that they expect of others in this Chamber.

Let me conclude by repeating what I have said before, the efforts of all members are required to maintain order and decorum in this Chamber. Your Speaker cannot do it alone. However, I can and will enforce the rules rigorously and I have confidence in your capacity as members to behave with dignity.
