Madam Speaker, I have a question of you and I wish to raise a matter of privilege under standing order 51. I refer to the issues that were raised during question time with respect to the Minister for Agriculture. I would ask that you review the tape of question time Monday of last week and compare the tape to the official record in the Hansard with a view of being able to report back to the House at a later hour as to whether the matters headed under 'misconduct' on pages 750 and 751 of Practice have been activated or, in particular, those relating to deliberately misleading the House, conspiracy to deceive, falsified documents or disobedience to the rules or orders of the House. I ask under standing order 51(b) (ii) that you reserve the matter for further consideration.
