Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Ms. Black.
Thank you, Madam Champagne and Mr. Marleau.
Mr. Marleau, you are a specialist in procedure in the Parliament of Canada. Would you agree with me that the Speaker of the House has the necessary tools to interpret the rules so as to bring peace to the House?
Neither the Speaker, nor the new rules, nor the existing rules can prevent a member from standing up and doing things that are wrong, although the discipline imposed by the Speaker can certainly discourage misconduct and improper language.
Does the Speaker have sufficient tools to deal with the great majority of problems?
