Following Tuesday’s confrontation between National Assembly President Nathalie Roy and Solidarity MP Christine Labrie, who accused the state of Quebec of engaging in “economic violence” against public sector workers, the words “exploitation of women” will be added to the law. added list of unparliamentary remarks.
This information was confirmed to The Canadian Press by the National Assembly. On Thursday, the Solidarity MP wrote the following on her Facebook page: It will now be forbidden to tell Salon Bleu that the state is exploiting its workers. It’s a shame that it’s not forbidden to exploit them instead.
She then made an appeal to everyone: I need your vocabulary suggestions to talk about what you experience when you have to work mandatory overtime, when you work unpaid hours, when you are kept in precarious conditions, when we increase your workload lead to exhaustion etc. listed the member for Sherbrooke.
On Tuesday, Christine Labrie sparked strong reactions at Salon Bleu when she claimed that three quarters of the people working in our public services are women. Why the CAQ persists[-t-elle] to take advantage of them?
Assembly president Nathalie Roy had to ask him twice to retract his outrageous comments. Ms. Labrie finally complied, grumbling.
It should be noted that words considered unparliamentary are not completely banned in Salon Bleu. The Presidency has full discretion to interpret and qualify the comments of [une députée ou par un député] taking into account the circumstances. There are no absolute criteria. The presidency’s verdict will depend on the nature of the remarks and the context in which they were made, Assembly speaker Béatrice Zacharie said by email.
As for the member’s comments on Sherbrooke […]that is the confirmation [selon laquelle] The government is exploiting women whose presidency has called for their removal, Ms. Zacharie added.
The National Assembly specifically prohibits an elected official from accusing a colleague of improper motives, using violent language, making threats and making inflammatory remarks.
