CHAMBER DRESS CODE

The Hon. R.B. SUCH (Fisher) (14:59): My question is to you, Madam Speaker. You earlier ruled that Muriel Matters was out of order for wearing a head covering in this chamber. Would that apply to someone wearing a hoodie, a turban or a burqa?

The SPEAKER (14:59): I have been sitting here thinking the same thing myself. I will come back to the honourable member with an answer.
