The Hon. Jack Layton: We detect a heavy perfume arising from the government benches. Is that Oda Cologne?
Some Honorable Members: Ha ha! Smart crack, Jack. Crackerjack!
Other Honorable Members: Boo, hiss, braaack!
Speaker of the House: May I remind the Honorable Member that bad puns are frowned upon in this House?
The Hon. Bob Rae: I thought this government was vigorously opposed to pun control.
Some Honorable Members: Ha ha! Good job, Bob!
Other Honorable Members: Braaack!
The Hon. Michael Ignatieff: Mr. Speaker, now that we have been treated to a Liberal dose of humor--ha ha--may we return to the pressing issue at hand? I refer, of course, to the "not" in the document emerging from Minister Oda's office. When will these questions be answered? Will the question of "not" go for naught? Ha ha.
Many Honorable Members: Groan.
The Hon. Michael Ignatieff: Let's, as they say, cut to the chase. Mr. Speaker, will the Prime Minister once and for all stop evading the issue and address the issue? Does he, in fact, recognize the seriousness of the issue?
Prime Minister Harper: Mr. Speaker, I will be pleased to address the issue. John, give me a downbeat. Here we go, Mr. Speaker:
"Issue is or issue ain't my baby?
Way you acting lately I don't know."
The Honorable John Baird: There you have it, Mr. Speaker--the reason our Prime Minister is known as the Bieber of the boomers!
Many Honorable Members: Braaack!
