Thank you, Ms. Lee. Hearing no further comments on the point of privilege, colleagues, it’s my duty as the Speaker, when a point of privilege is raised, to determine whether a prima facie breach of parliamentary privilege has occurred.
I have listened very carefully to all the Members that have spoken on this point of privilege. Mr. Krutko, I know, is very passionate about what he is saying. I’ve also heard from Mr. Robert McLeod in his apology to the Member for what actions took place, and I think is genuine in what he’s saying how it happened.
I have spoken many times before session and encourage Members to respect the dignity of this institution and respect each other. What happened is a name calling, from what I’ve heard, although not one that I would encourage Members to take part in too much. We do want to respect each other and get the work that we have done. However, I do
not feel that a name calling constitutes a prima facie of privilege. So I am going to rule that there is no prima facie breach of parliamentary privilege here. Thank you, colleagues.
The honourable Member for Inuvik Twin Lakes, Mr. Robert McLeod.
