Scott Reid Conservative Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, ON
Mr. Speaker, we all know that the rules of the House do not permit us to eat in this place. I could not help but observe that during the last vote a number of people were eating in their seats, including the Minister of National Defence, the Minister of Canadian Heritage and the Prime Minister, who appeared to be hiding a bagel in his desk. The Prime Minister has already stained this place with corruption. He does not need to stain it with mustard as well.
Justin Trudeau LiberalPrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, I apologize. It was a chocolate bar, but I apologize.
The Speaker Geoff Regan
I thank the hon. member for Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston. I remind members that food is not permitted in the chamber.
