Speaker of the Senate
Speaker’s Ruling – Point of Order by Senator Jaffer
I thank Senator Jaffer for raising this point of order about language in debate, and I very much appreciate Senator Enverga’s apology. I do remind senators of rule 6-13(1), and that not just sharp and taxing comments are unparliamentary and out of order, but also personal comments. When you are preparing your speeches, honourable senators, I ask you to please refer to this rule and to be constantly mindful of the decorum of the Senate and respect for all the individuals who make up this place.
