Mr. Speaker, I too would like to rise in support of this question of privilege.
I would point out that in this House there is only one member who is not represented by any political party, I believe, and that is the member for York South—Weston. He too is interested in private members' business and in fact would not be represented at negotiations among House leaders because he does not have the privilege of being represented by any of the House leaders in this place. So the private members' business would go forward, about which he would be particularly concerned and interested, and yet he would not have any input through a party structure in those negotiations.
If this comes back to the House in a format that we again have to decide whether we are going to accept it or not—and we agreed the other day to concur in the report—all we can do is really, really, really agree. We have no choice. The House has spoken. It is time to move it forward.
On those two points I agree with the member's question of privilege, not only with respect to his privileges, but particularly with respect to the member for York South—Weston who will be left out of this process.
