QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

We would basically be ending debate if we couldn't have discussions about somebody's competence in this place. For the opposition, I think this is one where you would need to be careful about the implications of the language that you use in questions. Mr Speaker, you made a ruling earlier today about descriptors.

That's where there is a descriptor being given to someone's name, but to have a situation where you can't even have an allegation about competence would really kill debate in this chamber.
