Points of Order November 27th, 2002
Mr. Speaker, it seems to me that for the most part you have dealt with the substance of this point of order already. When the hon. member for Kootenay--Columbia speaks about statements of the Prime Minister in the media that Parliament would ratify the Kyoto protocol, it is clear that we all know here that we use words in different ways. We do not always, when we are outside this place, and even inside, use words in the strict legal sense. I am sure that my hon. friend and his colleagues would be the last ones to want us to always use legalistic phraseology in this chamber.
In this case it has been made clear that the Prime Minister and cabinet do respect Parliament and want to hear from Parliament on this. They have asked for Parliament to give its advice on the question of ratification, and yes, they have made it clear it is their intention to do so, but they certainly want to hear from Parliament, and I think they would like to hear from all sides of Parliament, not just repetitive statements from one side of the House, which we have heard over and over.
For example, we know that the hon. member for Red Deer has told the Speaker he is going to repeat himself. He said nine times that he was going to repeat himself. Nine times he stated this to the Speaker, so it seems to me that if he is going to say that nine times that is a clear admission of repetition.
At any rate, Mr. Speaker, I think you will find that this point of order is not a point of order and that, as you have ruled already, clearly the motion is in order.

Questions on the Order Paper November 27th, 2002
Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for this question as well as his written one. I can advise him that I have information that indicates that the answer to his question is being prepared. However I will certainly endeavour to contact those who are preparing it and urge haste upon them to try to get this answer for him as quickly as possible.
