On a point of order being raised on Monday last by Ms. Tyabji, the Speaker made the following ruling:

Honourable Members:

Yesterday, the member for Okanagan East requested a withdrawal of comments made by the Member for Fort Langley-Aldergrove during debate on Bill (No. 50). At the time, the Chair indicated to the Members that I would like to have an opportunity to review the Blues before making a ruling because I was not in the chair when the remarks were made. I have done so, and the Blues indicate that the member for Fort Langley-Aldergrove alleged that the Member for Powell River-Sunshine Coast had deliberately misled the House. This language is unparliamentary, as I'm sure Members who were here at the time would appreciate. I would ask the Honourable Member, in deference to this concern, that he withdraw those remarks.

Emery Barnes, Speaker

Mr. Farrell-Collins withdrew the offending remarks.
