Mr. Speaker, as I said in my first answer, I was anticipating an apology because of the assertions that the hon. member made.
The House should be aware that the reference to the minister of fisheries and myself is patently false. The House should know that when the chief of staff of the office of the leader of the Reform Party ran in the last federal election, he received from a contributor not one, not two, but $8,000 from Clearwater Fine Foods. That particular company received financial assistance from ACOA both before and after the election.
I think the hon. member owes the House an apology.
