The Speaker addressed the House as follows:- |
|
|||||||||
|
The Member for Parry Sound-Muskoka has given me notice of his intention to raise a point of privilege. His point relates to the circumstances under which the House entered upon Orders of the Day for consideration of Bill 218 last Thursday morning. I am prepared to rule on the matter without hearing further from the Member for Parry Sound–Muskoka, as Standing Order 21(d) permits me to do. I will first say that I am satisfied with the procedural correctness with which debate was commenced last Thursday on Bill 218. After calling Orders of the Day, I permitted the Member for Leeds–Grenville to raise a point of privilege, of which he had given me notice the previous afternoon. After hearing from the Member, and the Member for Timmins–James Bay and the Government House Leader, I reserved my ruling on that point of privilege. At that point, the Member for Wellington–Halton Hills raised a point of order, which I dealt with, and then the Member for Oshawa raised a point of order, which I also dealt with. I then recognized the Minister of Finance, who called Order G218. The Deputy Clerk then read the Order for Second Reading of Bill 218, following which I recognized the Minister of Finance to commence the debate. I will say that I was quite deliberate in following the normal sequence of events – though they were interrupted with the point of privilege and the points of order – and I have no reservation about the fact that all was in order and Bill 218 was properly brought before the House for debate. I will also say that this matter as raised by the Member for Parry Sound–Muskoka is more correctly a point of order and not a point of privilege. The orderliness of the proceedings was not challenged at the time they occurred and so there can be no revising of them now. I thank the Member for Parry Sound–Muskoka for raising this matter but do not find that he has made out a valid case of privilege. |
