Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present the 66th report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs in relation to its orders of reference from the House dated Wednesday, February 17, 1999 and Thursday, February 18, 1999 in relation to the matter of the molestation of the member for Saskatoon—Humboldt and in relation to picket lines established to impede access to the precincts of parliament.
After hearing the testimony of several witnesses and considering all the evidence, the committee has concluded that there was no deliberate intention to contravene parliamentary privilege in this case. Any contempt of parliament was technical and unintended.
The committee has also included observations and recommendations to avoid similar situations occurring in the future.
I also have the honour to present the 67th report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs regarding the membership of the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development.
If the House gives its consent, I move that the 67th report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs be concurred in.
(Motion agreed to)
