Privilege

The House considered a question of privilege raised by the member for Peace River—Westlock about the government tabling annual reports late. A Liberal member argued the Speaker should dismiss it, saying the matter concerns statutory law rather than a rule the Speaker can enforce, and that no law set a deadline for tabling the reports. The Acting Speaker said the chair would take the argument under advisement and return to the House if needed.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
