My colleague, I refer you to Beauchesne's 6th edition. I am seeking guidance as I go on with this. I refer to citation 50:
In any case where the propriety of a Member's actions is brought into question, a specific charge must be made. The Speaker will not allow the Standing Committee on Elections, Privileges and Procedure to examine the actions and statements of a Member relating to the question to report generally on the matter.
The motion is that the matter of the member for Saint-Maurice paying campaign workers with public funds as reported in the Ottawa Sun on August 2 and 5, 1998 be referred to the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
I do not view this to be a specific enough charge and I would invite the hon. House leader of the opposition to make a specific charge against one of our sitting members.
