Member rises on a point of order, that point of order is not interrupted or there is no intervening act until the Speaker rules. Hon. Members, my ruling on that matter is as follows:- The practice and procedure of this House is expressly, explicitly and unequivocally covered 1132 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 12, 2008 by the Standing Orders. Among other things, the Standing Orders provide that where there is no clear provision within the Standing Orders, then the discretion to decide on how the House will proceed lies with the Speaker. Secondly, and significantly, the Speaker previously has ruled more than once, that the sitting order in the House is free, so that the hon. Members can sit on either side of the House as they find seats."
