On that point of order, I will hear the hon. member, but I would like to ask all members to be judicious in their use of language in the House. It is not permitted to use offensive language in speaking about other members.
I assume we can move on.
The hon. minister.

Madam Speaker, I appreciate the fact that you find that sort of language offensive in this place. We are all here for one purpose, and that is to help Canadians, not to call each other names. That is deplorable, and I would ask you to ask the hon. member to apologize.
The Deputy Speaker Denise Savoie
I am asking the hon. member for Timmins—James Bay to withdraw that comment.

Madam Speaker, I would be more than willing to withdraw that comment, but I want to say that we are here to represent our constituents and to debate, and what is happening with the government is a shutdown of debate because it will not do the honest thing and stand up and speak. That is what is intolerable in the House.
The Deputy Speaker Denise Savoie
I consider that the hon. member has stated that he is withdrawing that statement.
I must advise all members that it is my duty to interrupt these proceedings.
On that last point of order, the hon. parliamentary secretary.

Madam Speaker, I have been here only a little short of four years now, and it boggles my mind that this type of behaviour continues under your watch, Madam Speaker. I would appreciate it if you would actually listen as I speak, because the member ought to apologize, which is what is required, not retract and then attack again. I would ask, Madam Speaker, to please—
The Deputy Speaker Denise Savoie
Order, please.
I must interrupt these proceedings, but according to the rules of order the hon. member's comments have been accepted as the equivalent of an apology. I will close the matter now.
It is my duty to interrupt the proceedings and put forthwith the question necessary to dispose of the motion now before the House.
The question is on the motion. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?
Some hon. members
Agreed.
No.
Some hon. members
Yea.
Some hon. members
Nay.
The Deputy Speaker Denise Savoie
In my opinion the yeas have it.
And five or more members having risen:
Call in the members.
