Ruling Text
Mr. Broadbent (Oshawa) having explained to the House that the information had been obtained from the Office of Federal-Provincial Relations, the argument that all Members did not have equal access to Government resources could not be invoked. The arguments raised are not sufficient to permit one to conclude that there was impropriety. The Chair must not play the role of censor and will not pass judgment on the propriety or impropriety of certain actions of the Government.
