This morning the hon. leader of the Bloc Quebecois and the whip of the Bloc Quebecois asked me to rule on an action taken, not on Motion No. 8.
In that case I will hold in reservation my decision on Motion No. 8 until it comes to the House. In view of what has been transpiring, I thought it appropriate for me to hear what was being said by all hon. members. I am not prepared to rule on a motion which is not before the House.
With regard to the gesture of putting the motion, at this point I have heard from all parties except the government party. If it wants to intervene I am prepared to hear that. If it does not want to intervene that is okay. Does the government House leader wish to intervene on the point of the gesture of bringing it up?
