Mr. MacGregor, this committee is well within its right to challenge the procedural ruling that has been made thus far. The only way in which a Speaker would then intervene would be subject to a member of Parliament raising a point of privilege and suggesting that the committee had gone outside its scope. The Speaker then would seek procedural counsel, wherein what I'm ruling right now would probably be upheld. I think that would be the case.
It really depends on whether any member of the House would choose to use parliamentary privilege if I were successfully challenged.
Go ahead, Mr. Steinley.
