I heard “no” even before the Speaker had the opportunity to put the question, so there is no unanimous consent for that.

Resuming debate, the hon. member for Stormont—Dundas—South Glengarry.

I am certain the hon. member understood when I made mention of it in that intervention. If he listened to the first part of it, I said first part was fine; it was the second reference that was skating to the line in terms of making reference to the Prime Minister. Now we come to a favourite part of the week, the Thursday question. The hon. member for Mégantic—L'Érable.
