Mr. Speaker, there is the rule that we accept the words of a member. It is very unfortunate because I do not know where that leak is coming from.
A leak like that casts a shadow of a doubt over somebody. This gentleman was cleared by everybody. I am surprised the question was even asked. There was a leak. There might be some people making allegations about something that is not true against any one of us here. Just because it is in the press there is a shadow of doubt which is terribly unfair.
In my opinion this gentleman has our support. He has been an excellent member of Parliament and has given me a very satisfactory explanation. I am very proud he is member of my caucus.
