Mr. Speaker, I want to go back to the issue of the point of order. We’re not arguing now, at this point, about the bridge. We’re arguing about what’s happened in this House in terms of twice now, the Premier has been accused of uttering falsehoods or lying.
Our rules are very clear. Clause 23: “In debate, a Member will be called to order by the Speaker if the Member…charges another Member with uttering a deliberate falsehood.”
It has happened twice, Mr. Speaker. That is the issue. What is acceptable? That is what the ruling has to be. I think we should focus on that issue. We’re not here to debate the bridge now. We’re debating whether it’s acceptable to stand in this
House and accuse the Premier twice of lying. That’s the issue that the Speaker has to rule on.
