Mr. Speaker, I am rising on the same point of order. To add to the intervention of the House leader, I would like to submit the following to you. There seems to be a precedent developing that if a member is of the side of the government, they belong to the political party of the government, and their question will not be answered if you deem it not to be in line with government business. The problem with that is that the member for Davenport and I are not members of the government. We are not parliamentary secretaries and we are not in cabinet. Therefore, we are entitled to the exact same rights you afford to every other member of the House.
If you are deciding that a precedent will be set and that they will be able to have their questions answered, you must afford the exact same respect to our questions. Otherwise, I would argue that you are breaching our privilege.
