Mr. Speaker, sometimes in the heat of the moment, we use words we believe are appropriate to describe someone. You are the guardian of appropriate language and, heeding your valuable advice, I withdraw the words “niaiseuse” and “ignorant”, which I used to describe the minister. However, I am still surprised that no Conservative member raised a point of order when a Conservative member stated that francophones had no place in this House.
