Mr. Speaker, first, I would like to clarify for the member opposite and the House that the document in question was an invitation to attend a meeting.
Second, I would like to say to the member that I have met several times with the individual, Mr. Rae, who is alleged to have made these comments. He has never expressed a concern to me personally. Those in the House and other places who know Mr. Rae know that if he had a concern he would have mentioned it to me.
