Mr. Speaker, I will be brief.
The Conservatives are trying to defend government policy in a kind of bizarre way. They are not touching in any way the question of privilege raised by my colleague.
Mr. Speaker, I know that you will be taking under serious consideration the concerns that have been raised by the member.
Quite frankly, I hope that the government has a better thought-out intervention than simply going off politically and saying that the traditions of this place do not matter. They certainly do matter. Democratic institutions matter and we will defend them, because that is what we are all about.
