If you allow me, I want to take a very short while on the application of this particular Standing Order. Standing Order No. 248(1) says that there shall be published within 48 hours a verbatim report of all proceedings of the House unless the Speaker is satisfied that this is rendered impossible by some emergency. Hon. Speaker, Standing Order No. 248(2) says every Member shall have an opportunity to collect the draft verbatim report of his or her contribution but not so as to alter the substance of what the Member actually said. Standing Order No. 248(3) says that where there is doubt as to the content of the verbatim report of the House, the Speaker shall make a determination. Hon. Speaker, I wish to draw your attention to the fact that all the Sub-sections 248(1), (2) and (3) do not refer to anything called expunging information from the record. The tradition of HANSARD recording goes back to the 17th Century and it is only in The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
