Mr. Speaker, I rise on a question of privilege today with regard to a completely different event than my previous question of privilege the other day.
As hon. members will know, a breach of privilege occurs if someone interferes or tries to influence a member of parliament during the course of his duties.
On December 7, the member for Kenora—Rainy River did exactly that when in the House he said that if his intention was to intimate me, and I quote from Hansard , “I can assure you that he would not be here today”.
That is me he is talking about. I do not know if that means he is going to break my legs or what he means to do, but his sense is that I am not going to be here today.
