To say the very least, this was a very animated question period. We had a minister using a word which was withdrawn, and we had another member who, in exuberance, made a comment. I understand how these things happen, but this particular member, the member for Langley—Abbotsford, is an officer of this House, and that puts it in another perspective.
I address myself directly to the words that were used. It was a direct statement: “You are disgusting”. I would ask the hon. member if he would please withdraw those words and then we can get on with the business of the House.
