Madam Chair, just as a point of order, I want to put on the record a comment with regard to a word I misspoke. I believe the record will show that I insinuated that the Deputy Prime Minister was contemptible. That was not the intended word I wanted to say. I want to apologize for that. It should have been “contemptuous”, for the record, “almost...contemptuous”.
Rather than have to stand up in the House, and do that apology, I thought I would do that now, and allow the record to be corrected. I did not suggest she was contemptible.
