Mr. Speaker, under rules of debate 23(i) and (k), Member Groenewegen has now on a number of occasions continues, but especially this morning in her Member’s statement, to impute false or hidden motives to myself and uses abusive and insulting language under (k) of a nature likely to create disorder. She is putting her
own opinion on a story last night. I spoke to the facts that needed to be addressed and the facts that do stand and are clearly represented, and she has put her opinion and her own debate brought to this House, once again, on a situation that she’s fully aware of, has all the information, and is fully aware of all of the benefits Ministers and Members are entitled to. She can’t claim not being aware because she’s benefited from that herself in her past life as a Minister. She has the information but yet raises it in this House and continues to add allegations or her own opinion and interpretation as to what has happened in my life or the benefits or policies that apply to me as a Minister of this government. She’s aware of the situation. In fact, I’ve had a discussion with her personally after our meeting in Caucus back in December about my situation and living conditions. She’s aware of all the information, but instead stands up in this House and again tries to add to the story and build on something that’s there or not there and add to the level of discussion, or the lower level of discussion, that this Member continues to do.
Mr. Speaker, under these sections I am saying that the Member again has raised on a couple of points that brings further disorder to this Assembly and creates dissention, as well as puts out her own opinion on what the facts are or not there and continues to try to draw this down in this Assembly although we’ve already had debate on this area.
Mr. Speaker, the fact that the Member continues to lower the level of debate with her own opinion on things and not go with the facts that she’s fully aware of is creating, as I see it, Mr. Speaker, a point of order on, minimum, 23(k). Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
