Mr. Speaker, I am going by the precedents in this House for testimony by prime ministers. If you want to bring a Bible here, I will swear on the Bible in front of the entire country. Bring the Bible. I will swear on the Bible. I have no objection.
Mr. Speaker, do you have a Bible? I will swear on the Bible right now. If the hon. member will not respect a parliamentary tradition that says that when a member rises in this House, his word is as good as his oath, bring me a Bible and I will swear on the Bible, in English and in French.
