I join the Leader of the House in expressing agreement with and support for your decision to give precedence to this matter. This matter was referred unanimously to the Privileges Committee in the last parliament. It had our support then. The motion now before the House has but one amendment, which is quite appropriately to incorporate the findings of the Magistrates' Court in those deliberations. For that reason, as we supported it in the last parliament, we support the reference in this parliament.

Question agreed to.
