I have just one question, and it's more to seek your comments.
The process of this privilege debate took a unique turn. It actually stands in my name, rather than your names as it ought to have. Privilege is an ancient concept. We can trace it back to 1689 to the English Bill of Rights, and certainly our British North America Act, the Constitution Act, 1867, section 18 preserves it.
If you review the journals from the day of the Speech from the Throne, there is an elegant statement of the Speaker reasserting privileges of Parliament to the crown, to the Governor General of that day, so it's an important concept.
There was this unfortunate incident where both of you were denied your right to vote because of these matters. Then the issue was never dealt with in the House of Commons. The ability to vote on your initial question of privilege was denied by a vote to proceed to orders of the day, which is unprecedented in Canadian history, causing us to revive it through an alternate means.
I would like your comments on that, that is, how that affected your thinking on this matter. Your privileges were violated, and then they were almost further violated by the inability to vote on this important question of privilege.
