Thank you very much,
Mr. Speaker. I, too, was in the House when the exchange occurred. As well, to this point of order, out of interest I read the unedited Hansard. The way it reads to me is that there was no intent here
other than to state the obvious fact, which a Member did.
You have to remember that there was very spirited discussion occurring at that moment as well. We’re right in the heat of debating a very, very important motion. It was really important to the Cabinet side, and they were defending it. Many of their Members did speak. The two who were mentioned by Mr. Abernethy didn’t speak, but there were others who spoke. There was lots of spirited engagement in the debate. Mr. Abernethy, I believe, just pointed out a few facts from the motion that was being debated in front of us. Mashi cho.
