Mr. Chair, I guess there's currently a parallel provision in the Canada Elections Act, where if the official agent of a member has not filed Canada's election return, they can't sit or vote in the House of Commons. Exactly the same safeguards exist with respect to that possibility. To my knowledge, since the provision was adopted there has not been a case where a member was not permitted to sit or vote in the House of Commons.
On June 12th, 2006. See this statement in context.
