Mr. Speaker, I am not aware of any precedent for this. Certainly this can be looked into by the Department of Justice. I am advised, by the way, that the second letter the hon. lady was referring to earlier was copied to the department and a Reform MP, and so far there is no evidence that second letter was leaked. So I think the hon. member ought to withdraw that allegation.
In the House of Commons on February 6th, 1998. See this statement in context.
