Mr. Speaker, the Reform Party was told directly by the Haitian embassy and by our own foreign affairs protocol office that the Haitian president was not scheduled to come to Canada after his Washington visit until just last week. The arranging of this trip was directly connected to the byelection. The Prime Minister should have known this yesterday when he said: "There was no connection at all. There was none. There was none".
Will the Prime Minister withdraw his incorrect statements, admit there has been a serious manipulation of a byelection and ask the ethics counsellor to investigate this unfortunate misuse of power?
