Madam Speaker, I rise with respect to a matter of privilege in the House. It is stated very clearly in Beauchesne's that one of the responsibilities of the Speaker on a matter of privilege is that the Speaker must carefully hear the total story with respect to the privilege so that a judgment can be made whether a question of privilege exists. In order to do that, full and detailed information must be provided.
The hon. member who is making the presentation has to go into the details of the matter in order to completely describe the point of privilege. I know that in her presentation so far she has presented some of the preliminary information, but has not clearly indicated what the privilege is.
Madam Speaker, I refer you to citation 26(3) of Beauchesne's where it states:
When a question of privilege is raised the Speaker's function is limited to deciding whether the matter is of such a character as to entitle the motion, which the Member who has raised the question desires to move-
That means you must look at it in its entirety. Therefore, I would appreciate the Speaker's reconsideration.
