Privilege

The House held a debate on a question of privilege raised by the member for Kitchener South—Hespeler concerning the parliamentary work of the member for Thunder Bay—Rainy River. The parliamentary secretary to the government House leader argued the matter did not constitute a breach of privilege, saying members’ free speech in their parliamentary work is protected and outside groups cannot punish them for it, and that the Speaker already has the power to protect members’ rights without a special vote.Written by AI from the debate.
