Subtopic: POINT OF ORDER
June 16, 1988
Mr. Jacques Guilbault (Saint-Jacques):
Mr. Speaker, I would also like to put in my grain of salt on this point of order which touches upon the privilege of one of my colleagues, specially since I was present when the events took place, and since I saw with my own eyes the Prime Minister (Mr. Mulroney) make accusations, and given that along with the Leader of the Opposition (Mr. Turner), as the record will show-the Leader of the Opposition and myself asked the Prime Minister on two occasions who he was referring to.
When the Prime Minister said, and that is also on the record in the official report:
What the Liberal Party has been doing is: "slander Mr. La Salle and saying that he is guilty without any evidence being brought forward". When we heard this, of course we were not happy because it is not true.
Second, we wanted to make sure that the Prime Minister (Mr. Mulroney) would say exactly what he meant, so our Leader is quoted as saying: "Who said that?" The Prime Minister further continued by saying:
This has been said by Liberals in the House of Commons, and that is a
disgraceful way to do it.
Then the Leader of the Opposition again asked, and I shouted too: "Who said that?" Then the Prime Minister is quoted in Hansard as saying: "Boudria". I know of only one Boudria in the House of Commons and he is sitting right here. He does not have the habit of slandering people.
Furthermore, Mr. Speaker, I would like to say that on the very day of the incident I personally checked the videotaped recording of the debate in the House and it is clear, if Your Honour would care to look at the videotape, the electronic Hansard, that from his seat the Prime Minister accused the Hon. Member from Glengarry-Prescott-Russell by name, which by the way is unparliamentary: "Boudria" he said, calling him by his name!
So then, Mr. Speaker, I would suggest that for the sake of maintaining order in this House and to ensure that proper respect is shown towards all Hon. Members, Your Honour has no other choice but to ask the Prime Minister to take the first opportunity to withdraw the disgraceful and unparliamentary words he used and to apologize to my colleague, the Hon. Member for Glengarry-Prescott-Russell.
Subtopic: PRIVILEGE
June 16, 1988
Mr. Jacques Guilbault (Saint-Jacques):
Mr. Speaker, I would point out that the Minister who rose earlier in connection with the grant for Alma's industrial incubator did not answer the question. We still do not know under which program this grant was awarded. Mr. Speaker, Conservative candidate Lucien Bouchard-Mr. Clean-who was expected to give the Conservative Party a virginal image must now be very ill at ease with respect to the methods used by his own Party to prevent his election campaign from backfiring in Lac-Saint-Jean.
Mr. Speaker, I have here another press release dated May 27 concerning the expenditure of close to $1.6 million for repair work at Alma's airport. However, in French the release indicates that work would get under way only in 1990. In English . . .
"Construction is scheduled to begin in 1991".
Mr. Speaker, I should like to ask the Deputy Prime Minister whether work is scheduled to begin in 1990 or in 1991, or perhaps the date work begins does not matter at all because the only important thing was that the announcement had to be made before next Monday, June 20, the day of the byelection?
