Just a few short minutes ago there was another member in the House who was reprimanded for reading something.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1253973\" data-originallang=\"en\">I think what is happening right now is quite unfair, and it certainly is unparliamentary. It does not help the situation here. We are supposed to have a spirit of some sort of collaboration. I call this name calling.</p>",

Je m'oppose au langage non parlementaire utilis\u00e9 par le d\u00e9put\u00e9. Il y a \u00e0 peine quelques minutes, un autre d\u00e9put\u00e9 a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9primand\u00e9 pour avoir lu quelque chose d'offensant. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1253973\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce qui se produit actuellement est injuste et certainement contraire aux usages du Parlement. Ce n'est rien pour aider la situation. Nous sommes cens\u00e9s travailler dans un certain esprit de collaboration. Je consid\u00e8re que ce sont des insultes. </p>"
