Mr. Nelson A. Riis (Kamloops-Shuswap):

Mr. Speaker, this is really the first opportunity I have had to raise this point of order. I do so to get today's business off on a most positive and parliamentary note. I have just had a chance to review Hansard for yesterday. At page 17511, the Hon. Member for Calgary West (Mr. Hawkes), referred to the Hon. Member for Essex-Windsor (Mr. Langdon) as lying. I just make the point that this is unparliamentary language, and I would ask the Hon. Member to do the honourable thing and withdraw that remark.
