Mr. Speaker, I want to raise a point of privilege with respect to a statement made by the hon. member for Crowfoot in the House on March 25, the last sitting day before the Easter recess. This is the first opportunity I have had to raise the matter.
In a question to the Minister of Justice the hon. member stated that I had said: "that convicted murderers like Clifford Olson should not have to serve more than 15 years for their crimes."
Mr. Speaker, I want to make it absolutely clear that I never made such a statement. The statement by the member is absolutely false and I would ask him to apologize and withdraw his statement.
