The Acting Speaker (Mr. McClelland)

I am going to deal with one issue at a time.

First, I am not going to ask the member for Langley—Abbotsford to withdraw “lied” because it was not directed at any member or any ministry. It was a generalization. However without question the use of the word, in my estimation at this time in the way it was used I am not going to deem unparliamentary but it was certainly not gentlemanly.
