Madam Speaker, there are subtleties in the French language. The word “ignorant” can be considered an insult, but it can also be considered a state, a state of ignorance, a state of not knowing. In the current context, I think that my colleague from Montcalm wanted to make it clear that the member for Winnipeg North was not aware of the issue, did not know the file. It was not an insult; it was a description of a state.
