Mr. Speaker, I have neither heard a retraction nor an apology. You asked for it. It needs to be explicit. We need to hear it in this chamber, not just a running over of it like it did not happen. The member should retract and apologize.

Mr. Speaker, the member has been here a long time and will hopefully not be here much longer, but he has been here long enough to know that one cannot say indirectly what one cannot say directly. He knows that. He should know better. He needs to apologize or leave the chamber.

Mr. Speaker, you did hear it before, so you will hear it again: I retract and I apologize. I certainly apologize, as well, for anybody who had to watch the behaviour of the Conservatives who shut down our committee with screaming, shouting and intimidation for eight straight hours. The reason they did that was so the public would not hear these facts, which is why we have to deal with these constant interruptions. When we talk about facts with Conservatives, they are threatened by them. I think I made a very clear—

Mr. Speaker, the member is fully displaying his contempt for democracy and for the duly elected members of Parliament who represent our constituents in this place who may have different views and opinions from him. He actually did not apologize. He retracted and defended himself. The end of his comments were actually to further reinforce the truth of the assertion that he made. This entire thing is such a charade. I do not know why we have rules in this place, at committees or in this chamber, if they are not going to be applied equally and fairly all the time.

When I ask someone to retract, they are to retract or apologize but not to provide any other comments. Let us just move on to the next thing. There will be no “buts”, no “ands” or anything like that. Let us just have a straight-out apology. Let us try it, for the fourth time, without the “but”. The hon. member for Timmins—James Bay.

Mr. Speaker, I do not want to challenge you, but I think it will be the fifth time I have retracted and apologized. I can do it a sixth time: I retract and apologize. Can I continue?

Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, those were absolutely inappropriate, disingenuous comments. This is questions and comments on the bill, not personal attacks. The member should know better, and he should retract and apologize.
