Mr. Speaker, I rise today because like you I was concerned about reports in the press which gave the impression that I had accused you of favouritism with respect to one particular party in the House vis-à-vis question period. I want to make it absolutely clear for the record that I have not done that.
I continue to be concerned, as you well know, Mr. Speaker, about question period and the role of my party in it. However at no time have I suggested that Your Honour had any bias toward any particular party in this Chamber. I want to make that absolutely clear.
