MR. SPEAKER: Order, please. I would like to remind our guests in the galleries that under the Rules of our House, they are not to show either approval or disapproval at anything that happens here on the floor during our proceedings.

HON. KEITH COLWELL: Mr. Speaker, I rise to raise a question of privilege and I am doing so at the earliest opportunity. Yesterday in the House of Assembly I was assaulted and threatened by the Minister of Economic and Rural Development and Tourism; he is also the member for Waverley-Fall River-Beaver Bank.

SPEAKER'S RULING: House of Assembly Act (Section 33) - significance (Pt. of privilege by Ms. Michele Raymond [Hansard p. 240, 04/03/13]) No prima facie point of privilege. The member has other recourse.

SPEAKER'S RULING: Imputing motive (Pt. of order by Hon. M. Samson [Hansard p. 904, 04/17/13]) Disagreement between members over facts

On April 17th the honourable House Leader of the Official Opposition rose on a point of order in response to a notice of motion, a resolution given by the member for Truro-Bible Hill. It was his position that the member for Truro-Bible Hill was imputing bad motive to his Leader and the Party, because the resolution referred to tainted funds and also referred to past activities that have been found to have been illegal.

MADAM SPEAKER: Order, please. You have more than a minute, but I'm going to interrupt for a moment. Thank you.

Regarding my decision of disorderly conduct and unparliamentary behaviour by the member for Yarmouth, I've been advised by the Clerk that the proper procedure would have been by a motion and a vote in the House for a five-day suspension. Therefore, at this moment no suspension of five days is in order for the member for Yarmouth.
