Mr. Manion:

I rise to a point of order. I do

not think the Prime Minister has any right to use the word "untrue" in regard to a statement made by any member of this house.

Mr. MANION:

Do I understand that no one is to be allowed to say anything in reply to the Prime Minister's prepared speech? Is it the intention to gag this house, in addition to everything else? Is the Prime Minister to come before this house and make a prepared speech, of which no hint was given to anyone, and then attempt to close the mouths of the rest of us? I ask him if he dares do that.
