Pardon me, colleagues. I'm going to call this meeting back to order. I did not state that Mr. Fortin's language was unparliamentary. I did not rule that. I did not call him to withdraw the comment.
Mr. Fergus was offended. He can take that up with Mr. Fortin, but I would suggest that happen in a private conversation and not at this committee. I did not demand anybody to withdraw a comment. Mr. Fergus requested a withdrawal. It wasn't forthcoming to his satisfaction. That is between him and Mr. Fortin. That's a private conversation that probably should happen, but quite frankly, this chair has not ruled Monsieur Fortin's language unparliamentary and therefore there is nothing that is required to be withdrawn.
