With respect, I think if you examine the proceedings today, you will see that the point of order raised by the member for <a data-HoCid=\"278288\" href=\"/politicians/leah-gazan/\" title=\"Leah Gazan\">Winnipeg Centre</a> is about the use of the term \u201ccrazy\u201d, referring to someone's mental health as a pejorative.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8053962\" data-originallang=\"en\">It does not matter who it is applied to in this House. Her point of order was about the use of that term as a pejorative. I think you, Mr. Speaker, may have inadvertently confirmed that negative term in your ruling.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8053963\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I would like the Speaker to examine those records, because I think we need to make sure that in this House, we respect all those Canadians who are struggling with mental health issues and not use mental health as a pejorative in this House.</p>",

Avec tout le respect que je vous dois, je pense que si vous examinez les d\u00e9lib\u00e9rations d'aujourd'hui, vous constaterez que le rappel au R\u00e8glement invoqu\u00e9 par la d\u00e9put\u00e9e de <a data-HoCid=\"278288\" href=\"/politicians/leah-gazan/\" title=\"Leah Gazan\">Winnipeg\u2011Centre</a> porte sur l'utilisation du terme \u00ab fou \u00bb, ce qui fait r\u00e9f\u00e9rence de mani\u00e8re p\u00e9jorative \u00e0 la sant\u00e9 mentale d'une personne.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8053962\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cela ne fait aucune importance \u00e0 qui ce terme s'applique \u00e0 la Chambre. Son recours au R\u00e8glement portait sur l'utilisation de ce terme \u00e0 des fins p\u00e9joratives. Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je pense que vous avez indirectement confirm\u00e9 l'aspect p\u00e9joratif de ce terme dans votre d\u00e9cision.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8053963\" data-originallang=\"en\"> J'aimerais que le Pr\u00e9sident examine les archives, car je pense que nous devons veiller \u00e0 ce que la Chambre respecte tous les Canadiens qui sont aux prises avec des probl\u00e8mes de sant\u00e9 mentale et \u00e0 ce qu'elle ne parle pas de la sant\u00e9 mentale de fa\u00e7on p\u00e9jorative.</p>"
