Mr. Speaker, I believe what we often deal with in this House is not black, it is not white, it is grey and this is one of those grey areas that you will have to deal with.
Arguably this is a money bill. This will be your decision. But I believe what we are dealing with here is the inch worm. It is the wedge.
If you rule against the Reform Party on this point of order, how far down the road do we have to go? Do we have to go to the state of the Australian Parliament where the Senate which could deal with money bills formed a gridlock? The Australian Parliament ceased to function. Is that where this Parliament is going? Is that how far we want to go down that road? Do we have to get there? I do not think we do.
Mr. Speaker, I urge you to look at this in the context of how far down the road we are going to stop it. I believe the time is now.
