The difficulty your Speaker has, and I refer of course to Hansard , following the statement by the hon. member for Ottawa West, where it says: ``an hon. member''. We could have something far better. I do not have the name of an hon. member.
If the government whip is suggesting that I should encourage a greater choice of words, I wholeheartedly agree. Time and time again I have risen in the House to ask you to be very judicious in your choice of words. These types of words are offensive to many members of the House of Commons. But your Speaker has no recourse to any specific member.
Again, I make the admonition, the encouragement, if you will, of the government whip that I am sure that other members would want to say in the House.
I encourage members once again to choose carefully their words. The choice of words you have can be very cutting, they can be very inflammatory. That is why, my dear colleagues, I encourage you to be very judicious in your choice of words. I hope this type of thing will not arise again in the House.
