Hon. colleagues, as I said a while ago, it is extremely difficult to say whether a comment pertains to the subject matter before the House or whether it does not. Therefore, I would ask all members for their co-operation in complying with the Standing Orders and speaking to this bill. I think that all members can appreciate how very difficult this situation can be for the Chair.
In the House of Commons on May 4th, 1994. See this statement in context.
