Mr. Speaker, I think there is a large difference between a minister bringing a document into the House to be tabled as part of the normal course of the minister's business and the minister quoting from a piece of correspondence that she happens to have received from someone, be it a constituent, a member of parliament or someone else, in only one language. It is an entirely different situation, Mr. Speaker. Therefore, I think that your ruling perhaps applies more to official documents being brought in by ministers rather than something being quoted by the minister on a cursory basis.
