Oral Questions
Points of Order
In a debate on Points of Order during Oral Questions, MPs raised procedural issues and allegations of unparliamentary language. Green Party leader Elizabeth May asked about AI regulation after technical difficulties during her initial question. The Liberals expressed condolences for a tragedy in Tumbler Ridge and discussed their AI legislation. A Liberal MP called out a Bloc MP for unparliamentary language, which he denied. The debate focused on procedural matters rather than substantive policy discussion.
