Mr. Speaker, I did not raise the issue of relevance. It is simply because, a few minutes ago, another member of this House referred to what he called a rather curious situation. I want to say a few more words about this curious situation because today a member of the media was the target of what I would call virulent attacks.
Joyce Napier, a well-known CBC reporter, was also insulted because her accent-I do not even know if this is true-is supposedly not quite the same as that of other Quebecers. This journalist was insulted in this way because another parliamentarian, this time the hon. member for Rimouski-Témiscouata, has decided that such attacks should be aimed not only at members of other parties and of some cultural communities but also at members of the media.
Is this because the lady in question has a name that is-I do not know if it is English, Irish or Scottish-but the fact is that it is not-
