Earlier, at the very beginning of question period, the member for <a data-HoCid=\"252953\" href=\"/politicians/peter-julian/\" title=\"Peter Julian\">New Westminster\u2014Burnaby</a> I believe used an expression that everyone in the room knew was an inappropriate sentiment, using indirect language to say what he could not say directly.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6359443\" data-originallang=\"en\">I just want to raise that to your attention. There are still some of us who have sensibilities about certain words and we think that the Speaker should be aware of that.</p>",
