Mr. Speaker. I feel that, while answering a question today, the Secretary of State for International Financial Institutions violated my privileges as a parliamentarian by attempting to put some of the blame on me for his government unacceptable abdication to the American giant Paramount.
What he suggested is absolutely false. I have never been associated in any way with this issue. It is the minister's responsibility to name the anonymous entity behind which he is taking cover to justify this abdication on the part of his government.
No minister has the right to cast such a doubt on me when the government knows who is the guilty one but will not name him.
Mr. Speaker, I am asking you to ask that the member have the decency to withdraw these allegations.
