Liberal

Mr. DEPUTY SPEAKER:

I do not think the hon. gentleman is in order. It is not in order under the rules of the house to style as childish a resolution presented by a minister of the crown-or by any other hon. member as far as that goes.
[Mr. Pouliot.l
Furthermore, I do not believe that the hon. gentleman is speaking to the very subject matter of the resolution, which is the expediency of referring to a committee of the house the question of studying some -method to give recognition of conduct and action involving gallantry, courage, meritorious service and devotion to duty. I would like the hon. gentleman to withdraw that expression.

Topic:   HONOURS AND DECORATIONS
Subtopic:   APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER APPLICATION OF PRINCIPLE ACCEPTED IN 1919 TO MEMBERS OF CANADIAN ARMED FORCES
