Editor’s note: This post originally ran on Sept. 30, 2011 after Liberal MP Scott Brison made a comment about “golden showers” in question period. In light of Liberal MP Justin Trudeau’s comments towards Environment Minister Peter Kent today, here — again — are the 106 things you can’t say in Parliament. Though, Trudeau may have just made it 107, or maybe we’re up to 108 by now.

After Liberal MP Scott Brison’s references in question period Friday to “golden showers” it’s hard not to wonder if there’s anything you can’t get away with saying within the four walls of the House of Commons.

Well, actually there are things you can’t say – 106 of them to be exact (although after today there might be 107).

According to the Speaker’s office, Beauchesne’s Rules & Forms of the House of Commons of Canada, 6th edition (1989) contains the most recent summary of insults, insinuations, epithets and allegations that have been made in Parliament over the years and ruled to be “unparliamentary language” – a list that runs more than four pages. Many of them, such as “deliberately misstated the truth” or “intentional deceit” are among the creative ways MPs have found to accuse their opponents of lying. Others, such as “inspired by forty-rod whiskey” or “dim-witted saboteur” are rather biting observations on the character of other MPs.

In the end, though, it is up to the Speaker to decide whether language used in the House is “temperate and worthy of the place in which it is spoken” so a word that is acceptable in one context may not be in another.

As a public service (and because we couldn’t find it anywhere on the web) here are the 106 Things You Can’t Say in Parliament and when they were ruled unparliamentary.
