Third reading of bills.
Colleagues, before we finish for the today, I will do my ruling for the Point of Order.
The Member for Great Slave rose on a Point of Order stating that the Honourable Premier, when responding to a question, broke the rules of debate; specifically 3.2(3)(h),(i), and (k). The Premier stated her comments were observations on the Member's behaviour.
As a camera is only on the person talking, I cannot go back and review what was happening in the Chamber at that time. I am unable to determine what may or may not have been happening; however, I note that the Premier did indicate that her comments may not have been appropriate in the context of her reply, and I wanted to address this point.
All Members are required to direct their questions and replies to me as Speaker. This allows me to control debate but, even more importantly, it removes the personal element from these exchanges particularly when things get heated. I remind all Members to direct all their remarks through the Speaker or the chair in Committee of the Whole. The easiest reminder to do this is to look at the Speaker or the chair when you are speaking. This will help ensure debate in the Chamber remains respectful. As what was happening is not a agreed upon and cannot be reviewed, I am unable to rule on this Point of Order. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The board of management will be meeting at the rise of House.
