My argument pertains to the Speaker's judgment.
I'll get back to the parallel I was making. The Speaker said this:Members know full well that they cannot impugn the reputation of another member. I invite the minister to withdraw her comments about the member for Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier.
What did Ms. Lebouthillier do? She rose and said, “Mr. Speaker, I apologize.”
Therefore, this is akin to casting doubt on the Speaker's judgment, a Speaker who was selected by the Liberals, who have a majority in the House—or nearly, with the complicity of the NDP. Now they have a majority because they were able to get one of their own elected as Speaker.
Again, the Liberals are questioning the Speaker's judgment. They are bent on asking us to make one of our members, Larry Brock, apologize.
This is quite something. We're dealing with it right now in the House with respect to a question of privilege.
