    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will not wade into the question as to whether the Deputy Speaker was bending, standing or sitting but I will talk about the communication between the Speaker and the Clerks-at-the Table. I sat in that seat in the Seventh Parliament. Traditionally, when the clerk goes to advise the Speaker, and they must do that all the time in any House in comparable jurisdictions, the Speaker remains seated. He only stands to communicate when the clerk has finished talking to him. I have never seen a situation where the clerk advises the Speaker when the Speaker is on his feet. The conduct between the Chair and the Clerks-at-the Table should be consistent with the norms, precedence and practice of the House of Parliament. When the clerk is advising the Chair, the Chair should get to his seat and nobody else should stand when the Speaker is standing, except the Serjeant-at-Arms or Members who freeze in accordance to the Speaker’s orders."
