Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I feel that I have to rise on a point of order. I have waited until today to raise the point of order because I wanted to review the Hansard with respect to comments made in the House yesterday by Mr. Bromley.

Yesterday, in his reply to opening address, Mr. Bromley quoted a poem from an income security client and that quote referred, by name, to an income security worker and criticized the performance of that person in the House. These references can be found on page 30 of the March 12, 2013, unedited Hansard, and I quote: “’Hi, is … available?’ I calmly say. “No, sorry, she is not available today.” “Well, I am feeling a little frustrated that my paperwork has been lost. My social worker and I brought it in last week.” “Oh, yes, I remember stamping it and putting it in her box.” From the office space behind, … walks in.”

Mr. Speaker, my point of order is that there have been numerous rulings in the past about making references in the past in the House about government officials and private citizens who are not present and unable to defend themselves. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
