Mr. Speaker, first of all the statements attributed to me were never made.
The member should know the statement I made three years ago was very specific about the nature of Reform Party policies passed at its 1990 convention. I stated that those policies were racist. In fact the party decided subsequently to withdraw those policies.
Second, I may be wrong but I thought I saw the hon. member or one of the hon. members who lays claim to the label of redneck standing and bowing in the House yesterday, happy with the fact that he personally calls himself a redneck.
If the member has a problem with the term redneck I suggest he should address his difficulties to his own colleagues in his own caucus. Obviously there are a number of them who are proud to be called rednecks.
