Well that's interesting!
During his time as speaker in the Ontario legislature (1968-1971), Cass ruled that opposition members could not begin their questions with "why" during Question Period, as such questions were "usually not aimed at soliciting information from cabinet ministers, but at giving the questioner an opening to catalogue his complaints about the government."
