Order, please. Order, please.
The first time this same point of order came up I made a ruling, and the substantive point of the ruling was that it's not appropriate for a member to plead the case of a witness with regard to whether or not the witness wants to answer a question.
In fact, Mr. Tilson, I will refer you, specifically under committees, to page 863, where it says:
Tampering with a witness or in any way attempting to deter a witness from giving evidence at a committee meeting may constitute a breach of privilege.
Those are parliamentary practice and procedure.The point of order, it's interfering or—
Order, order.
I've made a ruling that the point of order is not a point of order. We're moving on.
