I find that supplementary question offensive, too. Ms A.S. Carles : I think the parents were really offended by the police. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Mr Speaker, we are hearing in this chamber hearsay evidence. The member was not even in attendance. She is taking comments from people who may have been in attendance as being absolutely correct and truthful. I am sorry, Mr Speaker; I am not prepared to in any way condone the comments that the member has made in this place today, which I find offensive. She should think about questions before she asks them in this house, make sure that her facts are correct and not mislead this house.
