The hon. minister was offended by what he perceived as a gesture that was very offensive to all of us. Now there has been an explanation that it was not the intent. I did not observe that gesture and so we should move on. However, we recognize that this would be offensive to all of us.
The next question is on Motion No. 707. A vote on this motion also applies to Motion No. 710. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?
