Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the minister coming back a second time to explain.
Yesterday the minister advised that the question was inappropriate. He also stated, if my memory serves me correctly, that it is not standard practice to ask for party affiliation. As a consequence of the minister's statements today, it is clear that yesterday when he spoke to the House, he misspoke himself about whether or not this was standard practice, which is what he is declaring today.
Finally, with regard to the information that was sent to my office, it had to do with lead in pencils and other things.
