Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order relating to the question of privilege that was raised yesterday after question period.
At that time the member for Mississauga South stood and spoke at length about his concern that members' privileges were breached in the release of a confidential report.
However, in the course of his comments on confidentiality in this place, he breached the very same privileges that he was complaining about. He did so by quoting from emails that were only released at an in camera meeting and therefore in confidence and by divulging the nature of discussions at that very meeting.
The member himself acknowledged that he may be breaching confidential information in his statement yesterday and I would submit that he was in fact doing so.
The member is very experienced in parliamentary procedure and therefore this was most likely an inadvertent mistake on his part. However, he himself should appreciate the seriousness of revealing in camera matters even while commenting on a possible breach of privilege.
I therefore invite the member for Mississauga South to apologize for this breach of the rules of this place.
