HON. FRANK CORBETT: Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, I just want to know, we had earlier arranged for the Lieutenant Governor to arrive, I wonder with unanimous consent of the House can we extend the hours of the House by two hours? (Interruption) If it was to recess at 6:00 p.m. we would go to 8:00 p.m.

MR. SPEAKER: The motion is - and by the way, that is a point of order - well because it deals with the Rules of the Assembly.

SPEAKER'S RULING: Written Questions - Unanswered (Pt. of Order by Hon. C. d'Entremont [Hansard p. 4342, 11/27/12]) No obligation to answer.

MS. LENORE ZANN: Those numbers are fiction. The honourable member has been given false information, I'm sorry, from his researchers.

Here are some real facts . . .

MADAM SPEAKER: Order please. Order. The assertion of false information is unparliamentary, could you please retract that? The honourable member for Truro-Bible Hill is asked to retract those remarks.

MS. ZANN: Okay, I said he was given false information, but I will retract that if that's unparliamentary language.

MR. SPEAKER. We welcome our guests to the gallery and hope they enjoy this afternoon's proceedings.

Before you read your resolution, I'd like to remind our guests in the galleries that, under the Rules of the House, they are not allowed to show either approval or disapproval of anything that happens here on the floor during our proceedings.

MR. ANDREW YOUNGER: Mr. Speaker, my question is also for the Premier. I'd like to give the Premier the opportunity to clarify some of the statements he made the other day in Question Period, when he was asked about his travel habits. The Premier - I will assume that he misspoke and I would like to give him that opportunity to correct himself.

HON. CHRISTOPHER D'ENTREMONT: Mr. Speaker, I beg leave to table a petition on behalf of the signatories from the Molega Lake area. The operative clause reads:

"We as a group living within the Molega Lake Lot Owners/Forest Point Loop Lot Owners Society/Handley Point Lot Owners are thoroughly disappointed at the lack of maintenance of the above road (Labelle from the start of the gravel portion to the Handley Point Road)."

Mr. Speaker, it is signed by 187 residents, and I too have affixed my signature.

HON. KEITH COLWELL: I'm going to share my time with the member for Glace Bay.

MR. SPEAKER: I'm sorry, that can't be done.

MR. COLWELL: Can't be done? Okay, not a problem.

MR. SPEAKER: You'll have to take the 10 minutes or as long as you like, and then we'll move on.

...[text omitted]

MR. SPEAKER: I wonder if I could just interrupt the member for a second. If you want to go five minutes, we can then go 10 and then back to you for five at the end.

SPEAKER'S RULING: Breach of the Rules of the House in committees is a breach of the member's privileges. (Pt. of Privilege by Hon. M. Samson [Hansard p. 3221, 11/07/12]) Not a breach of privilege; a point of order that can be dealt with in that committee.

MR. SPEAKER: Order, please. It is unparliamentary to say whether a member is in the House or outside the House. Again, this is not a point of order; it is a disagreement over facts between two members.

HON. MICHEL SAMSON: Mr. Speaker, on a point of privilege. Once again, this morning, we witnessed an example of this majority NDP Government ignoring the rules and traditions of this House. This morning at the Law Amendments Committee the Minister of Communities, Culture and Heritage sat as a voting member of the committee examining Bill No. 94, the House of Assembly Act, dealing with the new proposed electoral boundaries for Nova Scotia.
