Mr. Speaker, I will be brief and to the point.
When the leader of the Reform Party questioned the Minister of Justice regarding the leak of his statement on gun control, the Minister of Justice suggested that confidential material concerning his statement on gun control may have been leaked by the opposition.
This is not only entirely untrue but it is impossible because this material was broadcast on television last night and is in the Globe and Mail this morning. Our party and the Bloc received the information only after eight o'clock this morning.
I would ask that the minister retract this statement and clear the air so that there is no condemnation and no unfounded charges against this party.
