Mr. Speaker, I rise on the same point of order. My colleague indicated that we will get back to the House.
I just want to indicate to the Speaker that I have had discussions in the past in which there was a general lack of knowledge in regard to private members' bills and the need to keep them secret until they are introduced. I would be very surprised if this situation were unique. It may be worth having the Speaker's office invest a little time in looking at how members, particularly those who are introducing a private member's bill, are informed of their responsibilities.
In other words, this may have been done accidentally, and it might have actually happened on several occasions. It would be worthwhile to look into it.
