HON. CHRISTOPHER D'ENTREMONT: I stand tonight on a point of privilege, Mr. Speaker. I regret to say that this government willingly impeded my ability to do my parliamentary duty. In this government's race to deny democracy and railroad Bill No. 75 back into this House, they denied my right to hear at least 75 per cent of those who sought to appear before the Standing Committee on Law Amendments.

MR. TIM HOUSTON: Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of privilege.
Last night during late debate, towards the end, the member for Halifax Atlantic made some derogatory statements about me. It is part of an escalating theme wherein the last session he made some gestures to me, some obscene gestures. Last night he made clearly some derogatory statements to me. He questioned my integrity and he questioned my honour. He questioned my motives as a member of this House.

HON. STERLING BELLIVEAU: Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of privilege.
I came to this House yesterday hoping that the government was ready to take action to lay out a plan outlining how the electoral boundaries issue would be resolved before the next election. Unfortunately, my hopes were dashed. I take this to mean that the Premier is officially refusing to address this issue before the next general election.

TIM HOUSTON: Mr. Speaker, on a point of order. It's been entertaining to listen to the minister's discussion tonight about facts and integrity and truth, but I do want to go back to something that I asked the minister earlier this evening, to table some documents which we haven't seen. We've heard some references to it.

ALANA PAON: Mr. Speaker, I don't take lightly rising in this House on a point of privilege. We're about to see a government motion come forward to change the rules of the House so that we may actually sit in a hybrid manner, which is . . .
THE SPEAKER: Order, please. Is the honourable member raising a point of privilege?
ALANA PAON: I am raising a point of privilege.
THE SPEAKER: Did the honourable member serve due notice to the Speaker one hour in advance of the sitting?

HON. CHRISTOPHER D'ENTREMONT: Mr. Speaker, I am rising on a point of privilege today.
I'd first like to emphasize that this point is firmly and fundamentally rooted in the first and last rules of the Rules and Forms of Procedure of this House of Assembly. I am outraged that any member of this House would even attempt to change the Rules of this House by using the majority in committee. Does the Liberal Government not read the Rules of this House?

THE PREMIER: Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of privilege.
Yesterday, during Question Period, the Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party and the House Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party both suggested to this House that the Attorney General and Justice Minister wrote to the committee to add a name to that committee.

THE SPEAKER: Order, please. Before we begin the daily routine, I am going to bring the Speaker's Ruling on the point of privilege, the matter of interference with the judicial selection process.
