Yes, sir. If I had known I was going to be here today I would have kept my 1992 notes. As I recall, this particular draft, I think it's paragraph 11(1)(d)--I met with the committee and gave evidence--followed my recommendation. What it does is it simply--the first part, not the last part of forfeiting a monetary sum of some kind.... In fact, the practice right now, Mr. Chair, is that if a member is ejected from the House by the Speaker, he's out for the day; whether there's a vote subsequently or not, he's not to return to the House. That's just stating in the Standing Orders what the practice has been.
The point you make about minority governments is a very valid one. I can assure you that Speakers I've worked with would have it first and foremost in their minds on how to deal with such a situation, including taking the matter under advisement, which is the Speaker's prerogative, putting it over to another day, letting the member cool off, and maybe the next day the member is feeling a little bit better about it. So the Speaker has a mood management role as well in that situation. If he moves too fast, sometimes he makes the situation worse. In a minority context, I would say the Speaker would have that first and foremost in his or her mind.
