I rise on a point of order, Mr. Speaker. It has been my experience, limited as it has been in terms of the House and in comparison with other members, that when the Speaker's attention is drawn to the fact that a member is addressing the House in a manner that is irrelevant to the subject under discussion the Speaker then directs the person speaking to make his remarks relevant.
The parliamentary secretary was suggesting that perhaps it would be appropriate that when members rise on a point of order to point out the irrelevance that Your Honour would take note of it and direct the member to make his remarks relevant or face the consequence in Standing Order 11 which says:
The Speaker or the Chairman, after having called the attention of the House, or of the Committee, to the conduct of a Member who persists in irrelevance, or repetition, may direct the Member to discontinue his or her speech, and if then the Member still continues to speak, the Speaker shall name the Member or, if in Committee, the Chairman shall report the Member to the House.
