On the recordMay 15, 1996
I have talked to the parliamentarians and my honor was impugned at several points during Mr. Gunderson's strange point of personal privilege. If I had been here, I could have taken his words down time after time and had them stricken from the Record. I stood not mesmerized but fascinated at home. I will at some point, as the parliamentarians agreed, take a point of special privilege during the middle of the day, probably earlier than he did his. He did his around 3:30. That will be done in good time, probably next week, and I will set straight the perversion of facts that took place.
