Hon. John Fraser
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
Mr. Speaker:
The honourable Member for Ottawa—Vanier has moved a traditional motion that another honourable Member be now heard... In my view, having set out the fact that we have questions of privilege here which take precedence over other things, I think I am bound to proceed as I indicated I would. The honourable Minister of Finance.
