Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order.
Standing Order 158 speaks to the conduct of visitors in our galleries. I received a notice during question period that Air Canada flight attendants who were in the gallery were wearing red T-shirts that said “Unpaid Work Won't Fly”. They advised that they sent a picture of their shirts to the Sergeant-at-Arms or whoever controls admission to the gallery and received explicit permission to be in the gallery with those shirts. Twenty minutes into question period, they were asked to leave, and they were advised that some member on the government side expressed that they were uncomfortable with the T-shirts.
I am just wondering, Mr. Speaker, if you could rule on whether members of the government are allowed to kick out Canadians who are watching the people's business in their House of Commons when they are wearing T-shirts that were approved by the House of Commons.
