Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order, and in a moment I will move a motion seeking the unanimous consent of the House.
During question period on November 24, 2016, the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard said the following on the topic of his party's fundraising activities: “Mr. Speaker, our colleague knows very well that at events like this, government business is not discussed.” We have since learned that that was not the case.
I ask for unanimous consent to move the following motion: Given that the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard has misled the House, that this House call on the minister to withdraw his remarks and apologize to this House.
