Mr. Speaker, the Indian affairs minister was quoted today in the Halifax Herald . It was reported that he denied ever saying that the Marshall ruling applied to gas deposits or logging. Meanwhile, we do know that in this House he stated in the emergency debate on October 13 “the impact of the Marshall case likely will not be confined to fish and it likely will not be confined to Atlantic Canada”.
My question is quite simple. Will the minister guarantee to the House that before he makes any more reckless, provocative comments with respect to the Marshall decision he will think before he speaks?
