Mr. Speaker, an hon. member cannot on a point of order in the House make accusations against a cabinet minister. He cannot accuse someone of committing acts that are either illegal or otherwise, stand there with impugnity, make a statement and not be forced to withdraw and just leave it at that.
I would ask Your Honour to review what was said by the hon. member. I believe that language is unacceptable. If he were to try it outside the House, he might have a rather unpleasant surprise.
If it cannot be said outside and defended, perhaps he should be a bit more prudent with what he says in here.
