Madam Speaker, I would like to complete the point of order I raised previously with regard to the procedure in the House of Commons. I had a question for you. Why, when one member was here waiting to speak, was that privilege denied by the Chair, and then another member rose and the Speaker recognized or wanted to recognize another? That member was not in the Chamber and we were not accorded the same privileges that member received. What was the procedure with regard to that? I would appreciate the Speaker's comments.
In the House of Commons on September 17th, 1996. See this statement in context.
