Mr. Speaker, he did not address it.
Françoise Ducros is the top spokesman for the Prime Minister's Office. As such, she represents this country when speaking abroad. This week she called the president of the United States a moron at the NATO heads of state meeting.
At a time when we are involved in conflicts with the United States over softwood lumber and agricultural subsidies, these types of comments are particularly damaging to our most important trade relationship.
Given the seriousness of her diplomatic blunder, why is this offensive official still representing the Government of Canada?
