Context: House Hansard - 162 - Feb/16/23

Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, during question period, accused a member on our side of the House of deliberately engaging in disinformation. The definition for “disinformation” in Oxford Reference states, “...dissemination of false information with the deliberate intent to deceive or mislead.” I am asking for two simple things from you. The first is that there are terms in the House that are considered unparliamentary under any circumstance. Therefore, I wonder if you could make a ruling in the future as to whether the term “disinformation”, when speaking of the terms used by members, is still parliamentary in the House. The second is to have the minister retract her statement.
