Madam Speaker, I did read the hon. member's lips when he was debating this topic. I heard from those lips the words "these animals".
I have been in this House for 11 years now but I have not heard any member refer to a group of people as "these animals". They may have committed crimes, some very serious, but they are still people. They are still human beings. They are not animals.
I did not raise this on a point of order because I think the table will find it is parliamentary and acceptable language. However I am giving the hon. member this opportunity to withdraw the words "these animals".
