Mr. Speaker, I too want to bring to the attention of the House a statement and an action by the member for North Vancouver before the Minister for Human Resources Development started speaking.
I believe you will find that the member for North Vancouver used unparliamentary language. In addition, citation 501 of Beauchesne's states:
Speakers have consistently ruled that it is improper to produce exhibits of any sort in the Chamber. Thus during the flag debate of 1964, the display of competing designs was prohibited. At other times boxes of cereal, detergent and milk powder have been ruled out of order.
Mr. Speaker, I think you will find and in fact I believe you observed that the member for North Vancouver produced a trophy of the rear part of a horse and presented it to the minister. At the same time he referred to the minister with the words referring to that part of the equine anatomy.
