Madam Speaker, the member opposite, in her speech, spoke a little about following rules, the rule of law and so forth. I think that it has been interesting over the last few months. We have seen the incredible disregard that this government has for our institutions and for adherence to rules.

We have seen, even today, how institutions are undermined when we have people in positions of authority, such as the Speaker, making outrageous rulings without any basis or precedent. Can the member explain why her government and its partners in various positions consistently ignore precedent, ignore rules, ignore the law and think that they are somehow above the rules?

The Speaker has said that a member of this House, prior to him making his final ruling, will be prevented from speaking. The problem with the Speaker is that he is continually inventing new rules and applying ideas that are completely outside of the precedents of the House. If he is coming back to the House with a ruling, then the member for Battle River—Crowfoot should be able to be present prior to that final ruling, but—

Madam Speaker, the member across the way just claimed that members were challenging the Speaker's authority. We were trying to inform the Speaker, prior to what he said—
