Jean-Denis Garon Bloc Québécois
“I want to know if it is against our rules to call another member's words an exaggeration. I ask the Speaker to decide if saying that is impolite.”
“Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I wonder whether it is appropriate, from a parliamentary point of view and in the light of the Standing Orders, to describe a colleague’s analysis of a bill as an exaggeration. I wonder whether such remarks do not go beyond what should be considered acceptable standards of civility here in the House.”
