Does the hon. member for Calgary Forest Lawn want to respond? No, he does not. I want to remind everyone, regardless of what side they are on, to please use respectful language and show some respect to each other. When we show disrespect, it bleeds out and comes back to bite us. We will check Hansard, find out exactly what was said and go from there. The hon. member for Winnipeg Centre is rising on a point of order.

Mr. Speaker, I want to speak to the previous point of order that was just raised and the use of derogatory language in this place. Right now as we speak, there are members of the Conservatives who are trying to speak over us on a really serious issue. The use of that unparliamentary language is not satisfactory to the members of the House, including many of the indigenous members. I ask that the Speaker take seriously the consideration by the member for Winnipeg Centre and that this word be retracted.

I think it started off as a point of order, but it kind of went into debate. As I mentioned, I will be looking into it to see the context of how it was said and then go from there. The hon. member for Winnipeg Centre is rising on a point of order.

Mr. Garnett Genuis (Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, CPC)
Mr. Speaker, I know the member for Winnipeg North was hoping I would present a concurrence motion today, but the House is eagerly awaiting the address of the Leader of the Opposition on the budget, and I know that the member did not want to miss that. I will only be presenting one petition today in anticipation of the great speech to come. It is in support of Bill C-257, my private member's bill. This is a bill that would combat the grave problem of political discrimination in this country. Petitioners want the House to support Bill C-257, which would work to end discrimination on the basis of political belief or activity and also defend the rights of Canadians to peacefully express their political opinions. I hope members will support this legislation.
