No doubt it is our hope at all times, when hon. members withdraw language used in the House, that they do so clearly and without any other suggestion. That may not have happened in this instance. I do not have the text of the question in front of me and I did not hear every word. Perhaps after looking at Hansard tomorrow we will have something more to say. At this time, however, I believe that the words are withdrawn and the matter, in my opinion, is closed. I will, however, examine what the hon. whip has said, as well as what the hon. members said during question period.
In the House of Commons on May 26th, 2009. See this statement in context.
