The Speaker addressed the House as follows:-

Yesterday, several members rose on points of order with respect to language used and comments made during question period. I have reviewed the Hansard for yesterday, and I must say to the members that in terms of temperate language and tone, it was not one of our finer days.

To the Solicitor General, I would caution that the remarks made yesterday were inappropriate, intemperate and ill advised. I believe that, upon reflection, the Honourable Minister came to be of that same opinion as he saw fit to withdraw the comments and later to apologize to the member for London Centre.

Erskine May advises at page 380 that "Good temper and moderation are the characteristics of parliamentary language." It would I think be beneficial to this House if members on both sides carefully consider that advice and address this House with dignity and respect.

For my part, and with your cooperation, I will be vigilant in enforcing your rules that require civil discourse and decorum on the part of all members in this House.
