Mr. Speaker, I am rising on a point of order. The reality is that for a question of privilege the intervention has to be concise and has to deal with the question of privilege that has been raised. At the same time, if you, Mr. Speaker, believe it is a prima facie case of privilege, members then have the opportunity to make speeches such as the member is making now, which is perfectly legitimate after a ruling. The ruling obviously will not come today because we will want to examine the record and respond. Therefore, I would ask you, Mr. Speaker, to keep the question of privilege to the privilege matter and not allow for speeches that are more properly the domain only after you have ruled.
