I note that the hon. member for Louis-Hébert quoted the big book that we now have, thanks to our clerk and to the other officers at the Table who worked very hard to prepare such a document to help us. But the important thing that she did not read is on page 885, and I believe the Leader of the Government in the House alluded to it in his comments. It reads as follows:
It is not in order for Members to allude to committee proceedings or evidence in the House until the committee has presented its report to the House.
I believe it is important that the hon. member raises these issues concerning the rules in committees after the tabling of a report. Further on, I read the following:
This restriction applies both to references made by Members in debate and during Oral Question Period. If there is an irregularity in the committee's proceedings, the House can only be seized of it once it is reported to the House.
I would hope that after a report, if a problem persists, we will be able, at that time, to raise a point of order.
I want to deal with the other points of order, but first we will hear the weekly business statement. The House leader of the opposition.
