Mr. Speaker, on a point of order. I respect your decision, but if this is the case, it would be a good idea to amend Standing Order 43. If we adhere strictly to the standing orders but they begin to change the rules along the way, like they are trying to do with the bill to establish a framework for the Quebec referendum, then nothing makes sense any more.
In the House of Commons on December 16th, 1999. See this statement in context.
