Mr. Speaker, I indicated yesterday that I would undertake to look into the request made by the hon. member and of course I will. I do not expect to delay this at all. Had he contacted me informally before, I would have done my best to have it for him today. To the extent that it can be available for the next sitting of the House it will with the same conditions that I stipulated yesterday.
Mr. Speaker, if you will allow me, I would like to raise something else in relation to what the member said. It is the reference to citation 485 of Beauchesne's regarding unparliamentary language.
It states quite clearly that language, whenever it is conditional or hypothetical, does not make unparliamentary language acceptable. For someone to suggest in any way that the minister may have been not telling the truth in terms of quoting from a document or that he did not have a document and that in itself was not true, and so on, is the same as saying the minister himself was making statements which were untrue. To make it conditional like that does not make it any more acceptable.
I invite Mr. Speaker to check the parliamentary records, the blues as we refer to them, later to see whether that language is appropriate even with the conditionality that was placed on it today.
