Before we recognize the next speaker, I undertook earlier to return to the question of privilege by the member for Mississauga West.
As members may have seen, I had the privilege of speaking to all of the members involved.
I want to state unequivocally how important it is that we treat each other respectfully at all times and that no member at any time feel threatened physically or emotionally. This is the centre of our governance, of our civility as a nation. We have a fiduciary duty to comport ourselves in a manner that brings credit to each other, to this institution and to ourselves. As the chair occupant, I want it understood clearly that there will not be any actions by any member that bring discredit on this House, which is bigger than all of us. What this institution represents is bigger than all of us.
I have considered carefully the interventions given by everyone, including the hon. member for St. Albert. I thank all members for giving me their advice.
We are not going to take it any further because it has gone as far as it needs to go. We are considering, by consensus, the matter closed and we will speak no more of this particular instance.
