Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. My friend and colleague's comments were very well considered and well put.
To be honest, I had not really considered the gender implications of the insults from the member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes earlier. However, I am struck with the reality that when people run out of arguments in this place, they resort to personal attacks. They resort to calling names, using pejoratives and referring to each other's appearance. That is beneath the House of Commons. It is actually something that I think a school-aged person would receive detention for or would be called out for, as inappropriate behaviour.
If the member has some sartorial advice for me, that is fine; we can talk about it in the halls, but I do not think we should be resorting to ad hominem attacks. I would appreciate an apology, because it was childish and beneath this place.
