Text

On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. Will you rule — or refer this for a ruling — on whether the Member is misleading the House? The Bill Office was not presented with anything that was poorly drafted. You know, Principal Deputy Speaker — I suspect that the Member also knows this — that the Bill was not handwritten by me and then handed to the Bill Office; it was drafted with expertise and professionalism in this Building. What he has just said is a slight on those people. Perhaps it is also a slight on me, but I do not care about that. It is a slight on those people. He should withdraw that remark now.
