Points of Order

This was a point of order, not a bill debate. Conservative member Luc Berthold told the House that during question period the Minister of Jobs and Families had quoted him in a way he said misrepresented a letter he sent her; he said the letter asked the minister to respect current workers, not to add a single worker, and he asked for permission to table the letter in the House. No other substantive points were raised in this exchange.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .

Luc Berthold

Conservative
“The minister misled the House about what I wrote in a letter to her. I did not ask for more workers, I asked her to respect current workers. I want permission to table this letter.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. During oral question period, the Minister of Jobs and Families misled the House by quoting me in her answer. I must inform the House that I did not, in any letter, ask for a single additional worker. It is important to correct that. I did not ask for a single additional worker in the letter I sent her. I asked the minister to show respect to current workers. If she believes she is right, I seek the permission of the House to table the letter I sent her.
