Madam Speaker, there has been a great deal of tolerance given to opposition questions over the last 12 months—a very wide parameter. They are always full of argument, always full of inference, always full of debate. In the spirit of a robust chamber, you have allowed that and you have been very generous to the opposition. But accusing a member of the House of deliberately telling lies in the chamber in the question is stretching the parameters too far, and I would ask you to chasten the Manager of Opposition Business in the House or deal with him in a way that you see fit.
