My question is to the Prime Minister. Last Thursday, the Prime Minister repeatedly misled the parliament about the Gaetjen's review. What does it say about the government that even the Prime Minister doesn't feel the need to take responsibility for misleading parliament, as his own ministerial standards require?

The assertion put forward by the Leader of the Opposition is just simply not true. He comes to the dispatch box and he says things that are untrue. That reflects on him, not on me. It reflects on the Leader of the Opposition that he would seek to make such false statements. It is indeed the Leader of the Opposition who is guilty of the things he's accusing me of, in bringing it forward in that way, and he should cease doing it.
