Order, please. The House has a new book of procedure and I refer the hon. member for Rimouski—Mitis, and all other members, to the citation on page 514, which reads as follows:
The contemporary practice and unwritten rule require, therefore, that male Members wear a jacket, shirt and tie as standard dress. Clerical collars have been allowed, although ascots and turtlenecks have been ruled inappropriate for male Members participating in debate.
I refer to note 86, which says: “On occasion, male Members not wearing a tie have been permitted to vote”.
So, for the time being, we may continue with the practice described in the new book.
