Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. There is a challenge under the ruling that you had previously given and which we have all been abiding by on the way you were going to interpret standing order 68. We have respected that you have requested that objections only be made by the person who gave the personal explanation. The Prime Minister is now giving misrepresentations about a member who is not even here today—for significant reasons—and I simply ask you in those circumstances to intervene.
