Mr. Speaker, the Deputy Prime Minister in his response just a moment ago to our member accused him of abusing his authority in the House by directing a question to the justice minister.
Mr. Speaker, I think you realize in the chair that our member has a responsibility to direct a question, as you so said last Thursday in the House, to the government or to a member of the government. The Deputy Prime Minister is completely incorrect in his response and should apologize to the member.
