Once again I believe that surely the hon. member would have a point of debate and perhaps even a point of grievance. However, I would not see a point of privilege at this particular juncture.
It is my understanding that any statements allegedly made by the minister were made in committee. I would ask hon. members involved if they could perhaps seek redress on their grievance first in committee. If the committee of course chooses to report this to the House, then it will become a matter for the House to decide.
My colleagues, if I may be permitted I would point out with all respect that this House has conducted itself immeasurably well. I encourage all hon. members to act with one another as they have for the greatest part of the few months we have been sitting. It is a measure of the Parliament that we have been able to have the quality and the substance of debate we have had. I would hope that is the forerunner of the good relations to continue.
I believe the hon. member does have a point of grievance and indeed of debate. I would ask him and other hon. members who would feel aggrieved in committee to please address themselves to the chairman of that committee. They would have recourse there.
