Before I move to the member for Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, I will speak to the points raised by the hon. parliamentary secretary, as well as those raised by the member for Edmonton Strathcona.
The Speaker has made a ruling on this decision. I would encourage all members to read it very carefully. As we know, when there is something that contributes to Standing Order 18, the Speaker has some discretion as to what to do. The Speaker has certainly considered this question, has been in contact with others and has had many discussions. I would encourage the hon. members to read the ruling. If they wish to challenge the ruling of the Chair, they know the procedure to do so.
