I would ask members to come to order. Some hon. members: Oh! Oh! The Deputy Speaker: Order, please. I do not know what is in the air today. The hon. member for Pontiac.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. At the end of his response to the member for Pontiac's question, the Prime Minister yelled, “Shame on Quebeckers”. We checked, and that is what we heard. Naturally, I would ask that he withdraw his remarks.

Mr. Speaker, there are a thousand good ways to attack an opponent and there is no need to choose the wrong one. Unfortunately, during question period, the member for Pontiac made statements that were unfair and untrue. Many of us members from Quebec applauded the response yesterday from the Deputy Prime Minister. Some, like me, commented publicly. Others, like the member for Richmond—Arthabaska, made comments on social media. We all know the rules of Parliament. We know that we cannot state the opposite of the truth. Since individuals here have expressed support for the Deputy Prime Minister's comments, I believe the member for Pontiac was mistaken. I urge her to act with the dignity befitting her position.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a slightly different point of order. One of the principles and guidelines for Oral Questions, and obviously members have to be seated in their assigned seats to direct their questions to the Chair, is that members ask only questions concerning a matter that is “within the administrative responsibility of the government”. I believe that if you check the question from the member for Pontiac to the Prime Minister, you will find that it had nothing to do with the administrative nature of government.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to place on the record that I have the same concern about the question from the hon. member for Pontiac, and I support the point made by the hon. member for Central Okanagan—Similkameen—Nicola.
