Mr. Speaker, I would like to continue to read from a statement of Ms. Ducros. She said:
If I made comments in the context of what I understood to be a private conversation, I regret that they have attracted so much media attention. I accept full responsibility for them and I sincerely apologize.So as not to have this matter overshadow the Prime Minister’s important work here at the Summit I have offered him my resignation.
The Prime Minister has refused to accept her resignation.
