Honourable Member: Thank You, Mr. Speaker.
I rise today
on a point of personal privilege.
Mr. Speaker,
a few days ago, the Member for Windy River South rose in his seat to decry the recent
appointments, to the C-NLOPB.
What did the
Honourable Member say, Mr. Speaker? He
stated that neither of them know a ‘cod from a sculpin’!
As if, Sir, ‘knowing
a cod from a sculpin’ is some important induction or even a precondition for
senior management positions of this government and its Agencies. I will demonstrate that, not knowing a cod
from a sculpin, is neither important nor even desired within this
Administration.
Sir, I harbour
the strongest suspicion that most Honourable Members, including the Honourable
Member for Windy River South, wouldn’t know a ‘cod from a sculpin’.
Some Honourable Members: Hear, Hear.
Member for Blustery Bay:
Indeed, Sir, if I might speak plainly and without any disrespect, I
expect you, too, Mr. Speaker, would make the same claim.
