Mark Gerretsen Liberal
“Our rules do not let members call someone a liar. The member for Oshawa must take back what she said and make a full apology.”
“Madam Speaker, the member for Oshawa is not recognizing the fact that what she said was wrong. At best, she was sorry that it was heard. The rules in the House are very clear. We cannot accuse someone of lying, much less call them a liar. The member needs to withdraw the comment and apologize for what she said without qualification or any caveat attached to it.”
