I am going to take all of what the members have said, and I am going to draw the members' attention to the Standing Orders. Standing Order 16, on decorum, is a great standing order that all members should remember. They are all useful rules that members should remember when speaking to each other and about each other in the House as well.
I am going to draw the attention of the House to Standing Order 18 specifically. A couple of lines into it, it says, “nor use offensive words against either House, or against any Member thereof. No Member may reflect upon any vote of the House, except for the purpose of moving that such vote be rescinded.”
The heading is “Disrespectful or offensive language. Reflection on a vote.”
I know that there was a constituency week last week, so many members have now returned. Sometimes we forget riding names. We also forget some of the Standing Orders.
As a good reminder, do not make comments about other members that are insulting or are meant to be insulting. Also, do not try to educe the motive behind what a member is saying. Those are all rules that we should be reminded of.
I also want to remind members of Standing Order 16(2), not to cross between the Speaker and the member who is speaking.
With that said, I consider the matter closed.
Resuming debate, the hon. member for Oxford.
