Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the hon. member for Rimouski-Témiscouata displayed her good taste in urban planning, and her appreciation of urban beauty in particular, a science the popularity of which would no doubt have increased dramatically following her statement, had it not been for her apologies today, apologies that the people of Hull graciously accept.
What the hon. member did not realize is that, in the Hull neighbourhood she referred to, we find "matchstick" houses, a style apparently unique to Canada.
Reporters must be very grateful to the hon. member who, time after time, week after week, has managed to make the news and shock at the same time. In a recent radio interview, the hon. member indicated she had considered an acting career. Well, in this case, she gave us a fine example of her talent as a comedian.
If the hon. member for Rimouski-Témiscouata did not already exist, she would have to be invented.
