I thank Deputy Cannon for raising that matter. The House itself, on the recommendation of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges, adopted previously a code of parliamentary standards which governs a wide range of matters concerning the conduct of Members both inside and outside the Chamber. While the wearing of emblems per seis not prohibited by the code, paragraph 11 of the code, as adopted by the House in July 2010, addresses this matter that emblems of a party political nature should not be worn or otherwise displayed within the parliamentary precincts. It is a matter that can and will be discussed by both the Business Committee and perhaps by the Committee on Procedure and Privileges.
