There was so much noise in the chamber the Chair could not hear the question that the hon. member for Charleswood—St. James—Assiniboia was putting. I am sorry I missed the reference to the fact that this was being put to a minister responsible. Had I heard it, the Chair might have intervened in the circumstances, but I know that the government House leader exercises due diligence in respect of questions that are put by his colleagues. I suspect that with proper attention to this there will not be a repeat of that kind of mistake, at least one wishes. We will see what happens with that one and I will review the matter and if necessary get back to the House.
In the House of Commons on April 30th, 2003. See this statement in context.
