I still don't see what he did wrong though... I thought MP's/MLA's were allowed to say anything they wanted in parliament with immunity from prosecution? I guess that doesn't protect them from being summarily kicked out of the House by the Speaker? Seems pretty arbitrary to me when an elected official can be removed from his position like this, even temporarily... especially when he's asking (rudely or not) about where public money is going.
