Mr. A. D. McPhillips (Victoria, B.C.):

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a question of privilege, and I do so at the earliest possible opportunity. This matter of privilege concerns certain statements attributed to the Leader of the Opposition in the Ottawa Citizen of February 1 under the by-line of J. A. Hume, Citizen staff writer. If the Leader of the Opposition did say these words they constitute a frightful insult to members on this side of the house. These are the remarks attributed to him and which refer to members on this side:

-it is the cold gray dawn after their electoral debauch.

Mr. Speaker, I think even an ordinary knowledge of the English language is sufficient to indicate that the word "debauch" denotes moral turpitude of some kind, and usually gross moral turpitude. As I said before, this is a frightful insult to the members on this side of the house. If the Leader of the Opposition wishes to remain in his seat, Mr. Speaker, I suggest that he should make an immediate and full apology.
