Madam Speaker, I thank the Leader of the House for his intervention, and indeed his assistance, because on page 560 of Practice it clearly says:
Questions must not contain names of persons unless they can be authenticated …
What the Leader of the House has pointed out is that they need to be authenticated. Indeed, the question did nothing to authenticate the quote used by the member asking the question.
