Mr. Speaker, I did not want to bring that particular point up again. The only thing I ask, on a point of procedure, is that if a member, whether it be this incident or a different one, speaks on an open microphone, and if it is viciously directed at another member, no matter on which side of the House, I contend that it is not sufficient for the hon. member to withdraw that remark. When it is made openly against another member it should be in the form of an apology.
In the House of Commons on February 18th, 1997. See this statement in context.
