Statement by the Speaker

Ruling on a Point of Order

(Unparliamentary Language)

Yesterday, on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, the Deputy Government House Leader (Hon. Lori Carr) rose on a point of order alleging that during question period the Member for Regina Northeast (Jacqueline Roy) yelled across the floor, “you can’t be trusted.” I committed to reviewing the record.

The record has been reviewed, and I am prepared to rule on the matter. Voices can be heard on the video record and the alleged comment is not discernible. Further, after providing the opportunity to apologize for unparliamentary language, no member came forward.

Members know that accusing other honourable members of being untrustworthy is unparliamentary and out of order. In this case, there is not sufficient evidence to support the point of order. Therefore, I must rule that the point of order is not well taken.
