Mr. Speaker, I rise on the same point of order. I sent notice to the Minister of Transport in relation to an answer that he gave in the House during question period with respect to a document from which he clearly quoted in relation to the Pearson affair.
I quote from the French version of Beauchesne, the sixth edition, at page 158, item 4, paragraph 495:
(1) A minister is not at liberty to read or quote from a despatch or other state paper not before the House without being prepared to lay it on the table.
