“I agree with the member. The real test is whether someone was actually stopped from speaking. The video shows the member paused, waited, and was able to finish her speech.”
“Mr. Speaker, I do want to thank my colleague in the riding to the north of mine, the member for Lanark—Frontenac, because he is absolutely correct. I think I would agree with him that there should be an establishment of breaking in one’s speech and not being able to talk. If the member reviews the video of the S. O. 31, which he can do, he will see that the member for South Surrey—White Rock actually stopped at one point, waited and then restarted. We can see that; the video is there. I just want to thank my colleague for coming to our defence. We really appreciate that.”
