“A Conservative member yelled that my colleague was off his meds. It is wrong to insult people with mental health issues. I want that member to apologize.”
“Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, as my colleague for Winnipeg North was beginning his remarks, a member from the Conservative caucus yelled, “He’s off his meds.” Members would never yell, “They’re off their insulin.” To disparage Canadians who are dealing with mental health is unparliamentary, and it deserves an apology.”
