Mr. Speaker, during Question Period I did use words which are unparliamentary, words which I want to withdraw. One of the words was "racist" and the other word was "bigoted".
However, the member who has just risen will know that his colleague who sits just beyond his arm's reach, in asking the question, which prompted that response which I have withdrawn unequivocally, used the words "racist comments" in referring to me. The member thinks those kind of words are unacceptable. I have withdrawn them. I ask the member opposite to do the same.
