Madam Deputy Speaker, can I also ask you to refer to the Speaker the practice of the Leader of the House when an opposition member seeks leave to table a document relevant to the question and is denied such leave he then proceeds—and has done continuously for the last few days—to then table a document which is unrelated to any current question or business before the House? In my recollection, this is a novel practice and I would ask you to refer the question to the Speaker and get his advice as to whether or not this actually constitutes an abuse of the proceedings.

I will refer the issue to the Speaker.
