I offer this as a counterproposal as to what we might do. These statements made in the House not only will be made available to the hon. member who raised the question of privilege or contempt, but she will also have time to study them. I will go this much further. If there is something further she would like to add without entering into a debate per se, but to give me more information on which I could make a decision, then I will wait until I hear from her.
That the hon. member was not notified is my responsibility. I take responsibility for that. It was an error on my part but I did not get the information until just today and I thought it best that we had a response of some kind. I did not know the member would not be here, but that is my responsibility and I take full responsibility for this error on my part.
