Madam Speaker, I am sorry the member is disappointed with me and my party, but that is okay. We can have that disagreement.
However, it is important to note while that the Speaker may not have done himself any favours, at the same time, he has been consistent with the practices done before.
I remember, the Conservatives mailed into my riding. They used to use their mailing privileges called “franking”. Monte Solberg mailed into my riding, saying I was not supporting the RCMP on the day they were burying three RCMP officers in Edmonton. That led to a point of privilege that actually passed and is in the system right now. It stopped the mailings that the Conservatives were doing. I was supposed to get reparations for that, but that never took place because there was no agreement about what those reparations would be. However, we won.
How can we trust the Conservatives' sincerity in this debate when their practices are not consistent with that?
