Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my colleagues in their efforts to maintain a true sense of decorum in this House.
I recently encountered many Canadians who were saddened and angry over remarks attributed to certain members in the House, one of whom alleged that some of us do not like Indians and then apologized. Television cameras recorded yet another member of the House calling other members racists.
My constituents have told me they are disappointed when members of the House malign each other. They are distressed that their House of Commons is in danger of being brought into disrepute by any member hurling abusive language about so freely.
