Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to speak on the NDP opposition motion which is before the House.
I was pleased to hear the hon. leader of the NDP clarify the question which I asked on behalf of my constituents. I realize that a number of members of the House were a bit upset by the question. The leader herself seemed a bit agitated. However, I make no apology for asking the question on behalf of my constituents.
I am a great believer in not putting up with rumours that go around. I would rather go to the source and ask for actual information. That is what I did today.
I am pleased that the member had a chance to put something on the record. It means that I can mail out that Hansard to those constituents and that will put an end to the matter. I thank her very much for doing that.
