Mr. Speaker, there is respect, but there is also the tone and aggression with which comments are made. I am offering a constructive comment to my colleague across the way. I will give him a chance. I am not looking for an apology from him. However, we know full well that I could because of the words he used. Withdrawing his remark is one thing, but apologies are more meaningful. I will not ask him to apologize, but I am making a friendly suggestion. The comments he made, which I witnessed, were often very aggressive.
He mentioned another point. I challenge him to look in the archives of the past six years and find a single instance, in any of my speeches, where I have been disrespectful to people, especially invited guests. If there is a specific context in a committee, I invite him to share it with me, and I will take a look.
He may not have listened to my entire speech. He may have missed some parts. However, as I mentioned in my speech, this can happen on rare occasions, but it must remain an exception and there must be very good reasons for it. What I want, in general, is for people to be treated with respect. I ask that there be less aggression in the comments.
