Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm sorry, I wasn't perhaps as clear as I might have been. The power does not exist in statute or in the Legislative Assembly and Executive Council Act. The power is an inherent power. It exists to protect the honour and the integrity of the legislative Assembly so it does not exist in the act. It is an inherent power and it does permit the Legislative Assembly to do the things that are set out in clause 2, whether clause 2 exists or not.
