Text

May I clarify that for the Member? I am trying to be helpful and courteous. Does the Member accept, in good faith, that, when I gave that answer in Committee, I was not trying to be obstructive? I was trying to be factual. The dictionary definition — the any-Google-search definition — of a "pack" of dogs is "more than two dogs". It is not about my or someone else's opinion on what should be in law. Does he accept that I gave the answer in that context and for no other reason?
