Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think that under previous rulings of the Speaker, there have been a number of times that Members have been cautioned not to refer to people who cannot defend themselves in this House. When the Member refers to a member of my staff, Ministers only have, typically, one person on staff, sometimes two, so that makes them very easy to be identified. I would say that the Member, in that sense, is contravening previous rulings of the Speaker.
