Bill (No. 301) – The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company and National Trust Company Act/Loi concernant la Société de Fiducie Banque de Nouvelle-Écosse et la Compagnie Trust National Your Committee agreed to report this Bill, without amendment. On motion of Mr. Jennissen, the Report of the Committee was received. ______________________________ Following Oral Questions, Mr. Speaker made the following ruling: During Oral Questions on June 13, 2001, the Honourable Official Opposition House Leader raised a point of order concerning the word "hypocrites" allegedly said by the Honourable Member for Elmwood. The Honourable Government House Leader also spoke to the same point of order. I took the matter under advisement in order to peruse Hansard. On page 2880 of Hansard, the words "what a hypocrite" do appear, but there is no indication of the identity of the Member by whom the words were spoken or to whom the words were directed. In keeping with rulings delivered in a similar situation by Speaker Rocan on November 14, 1988, March 14, 1990, December 14, 1990, and by rulings delivered by Speaker Dacquay on April 25, 1996, May 29, 1996 and December 4, 1997, I must rule that as the Hansard record does not attribute the remarks to a specific Honourable Member, there is no point of order. I would however urge Honourable Members to exercise caution in the choice of language used, both when they have the floor and when they are speaking from their seats. The word "hypocrite", complained of in this instance, has been the subject of a number of interventions by Speakers in the past. Although at times discussions in the House can become heated, I would request that Members keep their remarks temperate and worthy of this Chamber and the office that we all hold. ______________________________ Pursuant to Rule 23(1), Messrs. Helwer and Aglugub, Mrs. Smith (Fort Garry), Mr. Nevakshonoff and Hon. Mr. Gerrard made Members' Statements. ______________________________ By leave, Hon.
