Mark Gerretsen Liberal
“Other members are saying I misled the House and calling me a liar. I am not misleading anyone, so I want them to withdraw those comments.”
“Mr. Speaker, the member did say that I “misled” the House, and and now he is saying it again. You just said, Mr. Speaker, that we cannot do indirectly what we cannot do directly, and that is to call somebody a liar, and he is basically saying— An hon. member: Oh, oh! Hon. Mark Gerretsen: Now the member for Selkirk—Interlake—Eastman is also saying that I am a liar. Would it be possible for the Speaker to ask them to withdraw that comment, given the fact that I am not misleading? I am telling them the way the calculation is made.”
