"content": "Standing Order No. 87(4); that is the Standing Order under which I am rising. In a nutshell, it bars any Member from imputing improper motive on any other Member without filing a substantive Motion. That is the gist of that Standing Order, I believe. You will also, of course, recall that Standing Order No. 84 gives any Member room to rise and make a personal statement. That also gives a Member that latitude. That particular Standing Order No. 84 does not, in any way, give a Member who rises under it, latitude to impute improper motive on any other Member as this is clearly barred by Standing Order No. 87(4). It is important to understand that under Standing Order No. 84, a statement made by a Member may not be debated. That is very clear. The operating word here is “may”. I believe that, that Standing Order still gives the Speaker the power to determine whether he may allow Members to debate that statement or not. It does not expressly bar the House from debating such a statement."
