Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. During question period you ruled out of order a question put forward by the member for Calgary Northeast.
The question was in two parts. The first was about the correlation between the grants given in certain ridings and political donations and the correlation between the amount of grants given in the HRD department. I had asked a similar question earlier in question period which was not ruled out of order.
I ask, Mr. Speaker, if you would review the blues. I know you have to rule in the middle of question period, but it does seem to me that the question really is about grants and the inappropriate use of grants in a minister's department, which is within her departmental responsibility.
