Madam Speaker, I was hoping to address this to the Speaker, as the NDP is waiting for a ruling from him on the member for Carleton's comments last Thursday, which are still on the record. They clearly went over the line of what is acceptable in this House. Standing Order 18 very clearly states that disrespectful and offensive language against a fellow member of Parliament is not permitted.
As we have made very clear, we expect and are waiting for a full apology and withdrawal from the member for Carleton. We have not yet seen that from the Speaker's office.
