Mr Johnson (Don Mills) moved, |
M. Johnson (Don Mills) propose, |
That, notwithstanding Standing Orders 8(a) and 96(a), the House will not meet on the morning of Thursday, September 26, 1996 to consider private members' public business; and, that notwithstanding Standing Order 96(h), the requirement for notice be waived with respect to ballot items 39, 40, 41 and 42; and, that Mr Ouellette and Mrs Marland exchange places in the order of precedence for private members' public business.
A debate arose and, after some time,
On a point of privilege having been raised by the member for Rainy River (Mr Hampton), the Deputy Speaker recessed the House for 10 minutes.
On his return the Deputy Speaker delivered the following ruling:-
Part of your privilege as a member is undoubtedly a right to unfettered free speech in this House. Let me repeat for emphasis - in this House.
If a member were to make comments in this House about the report in question and subsequent to those comments, a legal action was commenced, this would unquestionably constitute contempt of this House. In giving this ruling I must caution the House that this situation has not yet arisen.
Therefore, I rule that there does not exist today a prima facie case of privilege, nor a contempt of Parliament.
The debate continued and, after some time,
The Deputy Speaker named the member for Lake Nipigon (Mr Pouliot) for refusing to come to order and directed the member to withdraw from the service of the House for the balance of the day's sitting.
The debate continued and, after some time,
Ms Lankin moved the adjournment of the debate, which motion was lost on the following division:-
AYES - 24 NAYS - 56
|
Pursuant to Standing Order 9(a), the motion for the adjournment of the debate was deemed to have been made and carried. |
Conformément à l'article 9(a) du Règlement, la motion d'ajournement du débat est réputée avoir été proposée et adoptée. |
|
The House then adjourned at 6:10 p.m. |
À 18 h 10, la chambre a ensuite ajourné ses travaux. |
