House of Commons Hansard #70 of the 44th Parliament, 1st Session. (The original version is on Parliament's site.) The word of the day was languages.
Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Immigration acknowledged at the March 3 meeting of the immigration committee that he was aware that the Conservative platform commitment applied only to non-emergency situations and that he was not aware of targets.
I think the minister needs to clarify whether what he said on March 3 or today was accurate. Otherwise, it is a matter of misleading—
The Deputy Speaker Conservative Chris d'Entremont
If we are asking for clarification, we are getting into debate here.
The hon. Minister of Immigration. Fair is fair.
Sean Fraser LiberalMinister of Immigration
Mr. Speaker, if you go to the Conservative Party platform from the last election, you will not find a commitment to resettle any particular number of Afghan refugees.
Greg McLean Conservative Calgary Centre, AB
Mr. Speaker, misleading the House is a serious matter, and the member for Kitchener Centre continues to mislead this House on environmental matters. I have the report from the Parliamentary Budget Officer, and I do know that he has not indicated that the Trans Mountain pipeline is not economically viable. If the member has a different report, I would ask him to table it in the House, or else recant his comment in front of the House.
The Deputy Speaker Conservative Chris d'Entremont
We are getting into lots of different debate here, but let us clarify. In this chamber, “misleading the House” is said a lot, whether right or wrong. If members are accusing someone of deliberately misleading the House, that is saying someone is lying, and that cannot be said in the House of Commons.
I believe the member for Kitchener Centre has a comment.
Mike Morrice Green Kitchener Centre, ON

We are getting into debate here again.
I believe the hon. member for Saanich—Gulf Islands also has a point of order.
Elizabeth May Green Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, to be clear, I am rising in support. I put my hand up on the point of order when the hon. member from Calgary alleged something about the statement by the member for Kitchener Centre that cannot be said in this House.
I also read the report from the Parliamentary Budget Officer, but if I commented on the facts of the matter, it would be entering into debate.
The Deputy Speaker Conservative Chris d'Entremont
I thank the member for the intervention.
The hon. member for Timmins—James Bay.
Charlie Angus NDP Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have enormous respect for you and I am not trying to enter into debate. I stand by everything I said in the House.
The House resumed from May 11 consideration of the motion that Bill C-11, An Act to amend the Broadcasting Act and to make related and consequential amendments to other Acts, be read the second time and referred to a committee, of the amendment and of the amendment to the amendment.
