Statements in the House

Code Of Conduct May 1st, 1995

Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the hon. member. In her speech she indicated she was supporting the Bloc amendment which would delete any reference to the Senate in the motion. She appears to treat senators as non-parliamentarians by saying only

elected members of Parliament are entitled to participate in this process and only they should be subject to guidelines.

Is she suggesting the members of the other place ought to have no guidelines if the House of Commons adopts guidelines? Therefore does she feel it is fair that members of the House should be subject to certain guidelines where members of the other place are free to carry on businesses, trades or do whatever they wish? Is that the position of her party?
