There are no words that I know of which of themselves are unparliamentary because they can be used in such a way that they would not be.
As your Speaker I have to decide matters during the course of the give and take in question period. Surely I should have enough room to make decisions on your behalf so that the debates can continue.
If the hon. member wants me to look up the word “bamboozle”, I will be happy to do that.
I hope that when I make decisions of this nature, that you will grant me enough room. My intentions are to see to it that the House functions properly. I will not intervene any more than I have to.
We are going to go to tributes. I recognize the hon. member for Winnipeg—Transcona who will be saying a few words about a very dear colleague of ours who passed away, Mr. Stanley Knowles.
