William Henry Golding (Deputy Chair of Committees of the Whole)
Liberal
The ACTING SPEAKER (Mr. Golding):
I should like to draw to the attention of hon. members the fact that the rule is quite clear that a member who has the floor must not be interrupted; nor must he be asked a question unless he consents to answer it. The hon. member will indicate his desire to refrain from answering a question by remaining standing. No two members should be on their feet on the floor at once. Furthermore, the rule is quite clear that a member may rise to a question of privilege at any time; but if hon. members will study the rules I think they will find that the question of privilege must be one which affects the member personally and which he wants to correct immediately. We should keep this fact in mind and observe the: rules as well as possible.
