During oral question period, the Minister of State for Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec, in response to a question from the member for Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, used words that, in my opinion, were unparliamentary. As I indicated this morning in my ruling on a similar matter, members must be careful in the choice of the words they use. I therefore invite the minister, in the same spirit of cooperation shown this morning by other hon. members, to withdraw his remarks.
