Perhaps the hon. member for Lakeland could clarify the matter. If the statements alleged by the hon. member were stated, they clearly were unparliamentary and would not have been allowed. I must say that as Speaker I thought I heard one of the alleged statements quite clearly. I did not step up because I did not know who said it.
I would ask the hon. member for Lakeland to clarify the situation. If he did say those things, perhaps he could withdraw the words. I think it would be best if that were done immediately and we could simply end the matter here. If he did not, we will hear that from him.
