Mr. Speaker, it’s an issue of somebody suggesting what my position was on an issue that I had no opportunity to speak to. Whether or not I had intended to speak to the issue is a separate issue altogether.
We heard again today four Members say it’s clear that this is a fact — pointing at me — that I was upset. I don’t think anybody across the room knew how I felt.
This is a territorial project. It is in the Deh Cho. That is a fact. Whether or not I was upset, whether I was going to defend the position, is a whole separate issue, and nobody has the right to speak on my behalf. I resent that, and I will not accept that.
This, I think, is somewhat a little bit clearer in the fact that the Member has indicated he wasn’t questioning my credibility and my integrity. However, that’s not how I felt yesterday. I felt that he was raising issues with my ability to do my job, and I had to raise it today, Mr. Speaker. I’ll await your decision.
