Thank you, Mr. Nerysoo. Mr. Nerysoo has raised his point of privilege and has given us many facts and citations which have given rise in the past to questions of privilege. Under our rules, when a matter of privilege arises -- this is 19(2) -- it shall be considered immediately.
The issue that Members have to consider today is the issue that is raised under 19(3), and I will quote it for you. "The Speaker may allow debate to assist the Speaker to determine whether a prima facie case of breach of privilege has taken place, and whether the matter has been raised at the earliest opportunity." I would like to entertain some debate on this issue on the two points raised under 19(3) which is whether there are lots of facts here to support this as a case, and whether it's been raised at the earliest opportunity. Then, together with the comments that have been made by the Member, plus whatever debate ensues in the House, then some judgement can be made about whether there is a point of privilege.
I would like Members to respond to the point of privilege raised by the Member so it will assist us in making a ruling. Mr. Dent.
