Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Member's interpretation would be correct, except that there is still the remaining power in 6.2. for the Legislative Assembly to exercise it's inherent jurisdiction to expel, suspend or discipline the Member. As a matter of fact, that inherent jurisdiction could even be exercised before a court rules on the matter. In other words, if the matter were sufficiently serious that the House felt it was necessary to do something immediately, before the matter even went to trial, the House could make a ruling on it, pursuant to the power in 6.2 before a court has oven decided the matter.
