Madam Speaker: I have a ruling for the House.

On October 1, 1996, during Question Period, a point of order was raised by the opposition House leader about language used during Question Period by the honourable Minister of Highways and Transportation (Mr. Findlay). I took the matter under advisement in order to review the context within which the word "falsehood" was used. That word has in the past at times been ruled to be in order and at other times has been ruled out of order.

However, after I took the matter under advisement the minister withdrew the word in question. The matter is therefore concluded.
