The Speaker addressed the House:-

Le Président s'adresse à l'Assemblée :-

Yesterday, the Member for Renfrew–Nipissing–Pembroke asked for some clarification of a directive from me to withdraw certain language. The Member indicated that his use of the full name of the Premier should have been allowed in the context of referring to the government.

Let me first be clear on one point. The withdrawal I sought from the Member from Renfrew–Nipissing–Pembroke did not relate to the use of a proper name so much as to language that followed which is considered in most cases to be unparliamentary. The use of the proper name in the lead up to the use of this language left the impression that the subsequent accusation was directed at an individual member. In short, in my mind, the Member for Renfrew–Nipissing–Pembroke said something indirectly that he is prohibited from saying directly. Therein is the danger in using proper names.

Members should not refer to one another by name but rather by title, position or constituency name. As stated in O’Brien and Bosc, the reason for this is “to guard against the tendency to personalize debate.”

When a Member is referring to a particular administration as a collective, we have a practice of permitting the Premier’s surname to be attached, as in the “Davis government” or the “McGuinty government”. This exception stops short though of including the given name. The proper reference to this current government therefore should be the “Wynne government”. In the interest of civil discourse and to guard against personal attacks, I seek the cooperation of all members in this regard.
