Members are reminded of the rules regarding privilege. Those on campus have full privilege but those off campus may only have a limited privilege. Members are reminded of the long-standing parliamentary practice to the effect that they should not comment on, criticise or make charges against a person outside the Houses or an official either by name or in such a way as to make him or her identifiable. I invite Mr. Kincaid to make his opening statement.
