What you did, Mr. Mayrand, is you sent the Speaker a letter saying that, under the law, the individual can no longer perform his functions as a member of Parliament. You did that when there were still court options available, when it was not yet determined that you were in the right in the actual dispute you were having, and that he was in the wrong. Now that seems to me to be pre-emptive, and unnecessarily so.
