Mr. Speaker, Claims · 44 wordsduring question period, the hon. member for Kingston and the Islands was repeatedly carrying on a very high-volume monologue, the purpose of which, I believe, was to interrupt the ability of members who were posing questions to concentrate and to ask their questions properly.Reasoning · 11 wordsThat, of course, would be a violation of Standing Order 16(2), Claims · 58 wordswhich states, “When a member is speaking, no member shall pass between that member and the chair, 1nor interrupt him or her, except to raise a point of order.”During my own remarks, which were dealing with an aspect of Canadian correctional services, the member was speaking so loudly that it was very difficult for me to concentrate.Reasoning · 37 wordsOne of the goals of producing an effective debate in the House is to have us be capable of speaking in a normal speaking voice, as I am doing now, as opposed to yelling at each other.Aside · 15 wordsHad I been yelling, I think I could have successfully drowned out the member’s yelling, AsideReasoning · 41 wordsbut it is very difficult to carry on a civilized debate when this kind of, frankly, uncivilized behaviour is going on.I have no idea if that constitutes something for which the member should apologize.One cannot retract a loud voice, The ask · 13 wordsbut whatever the situation is, I seek your guidance on this, Mr. Speaker.
