Mr. Speaker, it is a fair question. The member is asking for rigidity within the system that really is not in the best interest of the House.
If the member were going to be straight on this issue, what the Bloc was doing was making a demonstration. It was not a constructive effort to deal with the legislation.
I support the principle of maintaining confidentiality and the spirit in which our rules are set up, but when members, either individually or collectively, abuse the rules of parliament or the privileges of parliament, then I expect the Speaker and those who run this place to make sure that the downside is mitigated as much as possible.
