Mr. Speaker, I believe I heard the Minister of Public Works today say that it is pretty flowery language for an accountant. I happen to be married to an accountant. I have a great deal of respect for the profession and I have a great deal of respect for my husband. I would like an apology from the minister for the offensive language and the derogatory comments he made about a very worthwhile profession.
In the House of Commons on April 14th, 2005. See this statement in context.
