The Voice of the Common Man is a radio station with an open-line show in St. John's, Newfoundland. I'm a former host. It's live radio, and it was a breach. I don't know what to say. I'm getting used to being a member of Parliament, and I'm getting used to sitting on a committee and getting used to the rules of committees. It was live radio and it was in the heat of the moment, and I have no excuse. It was in the heat of the moment. It happened. It came out. I couldn't take it back; it was live radio. It wasn't premeditated. I didn't write a blog post about it. I am a writer.
I apologize to the committee, to the chair. It did happen; it won't happen again.
