I appreciate the question. My reading of the rules is that referring to individual members is discouraged, particularly if a criticism or attack is being launched against a member of the other place when the member has no opportunity to defend himself or herself here. I think the hon. member is saying that she made passing references to individual senators. As I said before, I do not see an explicit rule that forbids it. It is simply discouraged in this place.
The clock has been stopped during this proceeding. When we return to this matter, the hon. member will have three minutes remaining.
It being 5:30 p.m., the House will now proceed to the consideration of private members' business as listed on today's order paper.
