Mr. Speaker, he should not have said anything. He was better off just being quiet.
His billed event said that the event would be taking place in a member's home and therefore space would be very limited. They fully expected this to sell out. In the background of the picture, one sees a bunch of homes. This is clearly outside of either his home or that of the constituent who is hosting this event for him.
He wants the people listening to this debate to decide whether the member for Regina—Qu'Appelle was at the event or whether he just happened to be walking down the street and decided to take a picture with him and the member for Carleton, who came running out of the house to take that picture. There may even have been some thinking about it at the time, where they said, “I have an idea. If we go take this out on the street, they will not be able to use it against us.”
It is very clear that the member who just got up and asked me that question said that, on that Tuesday evening, he was joined by the member for Regina—Qu'Appelle and the member for Carleton at the wine and cheese hosted by the Regina—Wascana Conservative Party EDA. It is very clear that the member for Regina—Qu'Appelle was at that event.
