I am not closed to the idea of finding ways to collectively express that what happened is extremely serious, but I find it hard to see how we could go further in this situation, since the member has apologized. However, if there are other avenues, I am prepared to explore them.
You made an extremely serious decision by recognizing the question of privilege, which has rarely happened. It has happened only twice in the last year. That is certainly a Guinness record. To your knowledge, are there precedents where members have been sanctioned more severely after apologizing?
