Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, this afternoon during question period I heard some unparliamentary language. What is more, this language was used by the leader of a political party from Quebec. The Leader of the Bloc Québécois, who should be respectful and a model parliamentarian, unfortunately used unparliamentary and disrespectful language when the Minister of National Defence had the floor.
Out of respect for the electors of the Minister of National Defence and for the parliamentarians in this House, I am calling on the hon. member for Laurier—Sainte-Marie to withdraw his comments and apologize to the Minister of National Defence for his disrespectful comments. We are entitled to expect all parliamentarians to show a minimum of respect and decency here in this House.
