The hon. member for Perth—Wellington is rising on a point of order.
John Nater Conservative Perth—Wellington, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point or order. I would draw your attention to paragraph 489 of Beauchesne's Parliamentary Rules and Forms, sixth edition, as well as page 3760 of Debates, February 18, 1970, concerning the unparliamentary language used in this place.
Immediately prior to this vote, the Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations, in reference to the member for Windsor West, on two separate occasions, used unparliamentary language. One is the one referred to at page 3760 of Debates, and the other is the French translation of the word “seal”, which is entirely inappropriate for the House.
It offends the dignity of the House, and the member owes an apology to the House and to the member for Windsor West.
The Speaker Liberal Anthony Rota
This hon. parliamentary secretary to the government House leader is rising on the same point of order.
Kevin Lamoureux LiberalParliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, being somewhat familiar with Beauchesne's sixth edition, what is important is that any word used in the House is not necessarily parliamentary or unparliamentary. It depends on the context in which it was stated, and I would suggest to you that at the very—
Kevin Lamoureux Liberal Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, if members want, we can be very much standing on our feet, talking about things that are being heckled back and forth from both sides of the House. I would suggest to the members that one does not throw stones in glass houses.
The Speaker Liberal Anthony Rota
What we will do is we will go to Hansard and go over it to see what was said and if we can find something.
Does the hon. minister want to rise?

Marc Miller LiberalMinister of Crown-Indigenous Relations
Mr. Speaker, I did more than want to rise. I did rise.
If I used unparliamentary language, I am glad to apologize. What I did say to the member opposite is that if he wants to call me out in the House of Commons, he can at least have the decency to come see me before that. There are plenty of opportunities.
If we are going to have a debate on the substance of this, Mr. Speaker, I think you should understand the motivations for the words that I did express, but if the member has the intellectual integrity to want support for his bill, he can come up and ask me to support it.
I told him to get off his ass. If that is unparliamentary, I apologize.

Order.
The hon. member for Windsor West is rising, I believe on the same point of order.
Brian Masse NDP Windsor West, ON
Mr. Speaker, I will make this simple. If that is the conduct of the minister in a situation like this, I do not want an apology.
The Speaker Liberal Anthony Rota
Order.
We will review the Hansard and come back to the House with our findings. In the meantime, I want to remind all members on both sides of the House to be very judicious when they use words. Words can have different meanings and different feelings can come out to different people.

Please be considerate to each other.
The question is on Motion No. 3. A vote on this motion also applies to Motions Nos. 6 to 43.
