The Chair greatly appreciates the retraction requested by the hon. member for Roberval.
I must admit that I referred to yesterday's Hansard to check what had been said and was somewhat shocked at what I read. I indicated to the hon. member that it was important in my opinion both for the House and for the Chair for there to be a retraction. I greatly appreciate the hon. member's co-operation in this matter.
The editors of Hansard always try to be fair and just in reporting and printing what we have said in the House. It is often difficult to determine exactly what was said.
We work together, the editors of Hansard , the clerks at the table, and everyone who works for the House, to provide a quite accurate and precise text of what was said in the House. We shall continue to try to improve the already excellent service Hansard provides to this House.
I thank everyone in this regard.
