Most Recent Speeches (Page 2 of 2368)
April 14, 1915
Mr. SPEAKER:
As the hon. gentleman has already moved one amendment, he has exhausted his right to speak on the third reading. The amendment which he now proposes is, therefore, out of order.
Subtopic: SOLDIERS' VOTING BILL.
April 14, 1915
Mr. SPEAKER:
My attention has been drawn to this question, and in my judgment it is not a proper question to put on the Order Paper and it is not in the proper form. The rule is laid down that members putting questions on the Order Paper become responsible for the allegations of facts in them, which is certainly not done here. A question should also refer to something in connection with the business of the House or of the country with which the Government is dealing, which does not seem to me to be the case in regard to this question.
Subtopic: WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY.
April 13, 1915
Mr. SPEAKER:
With reference to the
practice which seems to be somewhat prevalent of late, of reading newspaper articles in the House as a question of privilege, I wish to say that it is not a question of privilege, and cannot by any stretch of the imagination be properly regarded as privilege. All the same, it is the right of an hon. member to refer to such statements and to contradict them.
April 10, 1915
Mr. SPEAKER:
I am afraid that the hon. member is departing from the question before the House.
Subtopic: PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF B. N. A. ACT.
April 10, 1915
Mr. SPEAKER:
I do not think, as the phrase was given to the House, that it is exactly within the rule which would compel me to ask the hon. member to refrain from making reflections upon the other branch of this Parliament, but I do think that it ought to be a well-understood principle that it is not in good taste to reflect on the other branch of this Legislature.
Subtopic: PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF B. N. A. ACT.
