The Speaker addressed the House as follows:- |
|
|
I would like to take a few minutes to caution the House once again about the use of intemperate language and general tenor of speech in this Chamber. I have observed over the short period that this House has been convened, an increased tendency towards disrespectful, insulting comments and insinuations directed from one member to another. Recent Question Periods provide some troubling examples. Words like stupid, jerk, bamboozle, hoodwink and fabrications, along with reference to booze cruises, pickpockets and bathroom breaks do nothing to enhance decorum in this place or to garner the respect of the citizens we serve. Neither frankly does constant and repetitive heckling to the point where it is difficult or impossible to hear a colleague speak. This is a place to put forward like and opposing viewpoints. That often brings with it an element of passion and sometimes antagonism. However, it is I think incumbent on all of us to treat each other with the kind of respect we ourselves expect to be treated with. Hurling insults and engaging in personal attacks debases this institution and casts a shadow on each of us. We are all Members of Ontario's Provincial Parliament. We have been sent here to represent, to the best of our ability, a constituency of citizens who have a right to expect that, as their representatives in this place, we will conduct ourselves with dignity and honour. This does not in my view include the kind of schoolyard name calling and derision that is becoming the trend of late. I seek the cooperation of the House in maintaining a higher level of decorum in this place, each of us having due regard and courtesy for all honourable Members and respect for the authority of the Chair. I know that you are capable of a higher standard. As a footnote, given some recent incidents of disregard for the Chair, I also want to remind members that at any point in the proceedings if the Speaker and a member are both standing, one of those two is out of order … and it is not the Speaker. |
