Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to make a few comments on the point of privilege raised earlier by Mr. Barnabas and once again, I would like to say thank you very much for trying to clear the air as I had tried to do the other day. Members will recall that I did raise a Point of Privilege in the House, which I argued for, and the Speaker did agree, that my privileges had been breached, and that there was a case for breach of privilege and I was in a position to take the next effort to propose a motion on how to deal with that breach.

However, on the morning of the day that we were supposed to propose that motion, I was informed and did receive an apology from the Member for Hay River. I accepted the apology and believed that the apology was made honestly and with meaning. I found out later on in the day that further statements casting doubt on my statement saying that I did not write the note and Mr. Barnabas' statement that he was the one who wrote the note. I believe that what happened on that day and the previous day was a deliberate effort to create doubt and mistrust in the House, on the fact that Mr. Barnabas had written a note. There were further suggestions that Mr. Morin and myself had put Mr. Barnabas up to saying that he wrote the note when he did not. There were other rumours on how that had occurred. That, to me, is totally unacceptable. It is a style of politics that is not mine. Mr. Speaker, I notice that my time is up. I would like to conclude my statement. Thank you.
