Madam Speaker, the Bloc Québécois supports what the House leader of the official opposition, the member for Regina—Qu'Appelle , said about making this motion a priority, a parliamentary privilege motion. I would also like to add that new incidents have come to light in the media since we debated the question of parliamentary privilege to refer the matter to the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
In our opinion, that is enough to justify not limiting ourselves to the work that was done on the question of privilege the first time. We need to maintain the question of privilege, especially since this is such an important and, I would also say, sensitive subject. It is about the House's confidence in the person who is supposed to lead our debates. Right now, rather than being the one who maintains decorum in the House and ensures that the debates run smoothly, he is the main cause of distraction.
If only for these reasons, I support the arguments of the member for Regina—Qu'Appelle regarding the importance of making this motion a question of parliamentary privilege.
