Before we move on to the next speaker, I would like to return to the point of order raised by the member for Mégantic-L'Érable.
House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, 2017, by Marc Bosc and André Gagnon, on page 619, chapter 13, states the following:
Allusions to the presence or absence of a Member or Minister in the Chamber are unacceptable.
As we can see, it states, “a Member” and “a Minister in the Chamber”.
I would still like to remind members that there is a gray area when we refer to people who are or are not in the House. It would be better not to mention who is in the House and who is not, as a general rule.
