That is a bit hypocritical of Senator Macdonald, who has raised my accent in the past. I am actually a real Scot, Senator Macdonald; I am not a pretend Scot like you. I am a real Scot—I was actually born there. I do not have to come in here in a kilt to try and pretend that I have got a link back to Scotland. You have raised issues about my accent in the past—that is fine. I do not have a glass jaw in these things. I can give it and I can take it. That is what real Scots do—not like you, up on your feet every two minutes, trying to be a pretend Scot with a glass chin. We do not have a glass chin where I come from. We can give it and we can take it—not like the Macdonalds that you seem to represent.
