MR. GLAVINE: My question to the Premier is, after saying one thing while in Opposition, doing the opposite once in power after misleading Nova Scotians in the election campaign, after so badly mismanaging this past budget, it's clear we can't trust you. Why should Nova Scotians . . .

MR. SPEAKER: Order, please. The word 'untrust' is unparliamentary. I would ask that you retract that, please.

MR. GLAVINE: I'll remove it from the question, Mr. Speaker.

SPEAKER'S RULING: Correct format address for members in the House.

HON. FRANK CORBETT: Mr. Speaker, in response to an incident in the House yesterday where the member for Richmond stood on a point of order and said that I may have said something that caused distress to the House and to members and to you, Mr. Speaker; to that point I would ask for the forgiveness of the House, and I sincerely apologize if I offended you or the House or any members. Thank you.

MR. SPEAKER: Thank you. As always, it's nice to clear the air, and also we accept all apologies from all members in the Chamber at all times. Thank you.

MR. SPEAKER: Order, please. Again, I must say that questions or comments come through the Chair and you keep saying the word "you". It comes through the Chair, please so I remind all members to please direct your questions through the Chair, thank you.

MR. SPEAKER: Order, please. I would remind all members during Question Period that all electronic devices are to be turned off at all times and I would appreciate it if everybody would adhere to those rules, please. Thank you.

MR. YOUNGER: Mr. Speaker, if getting into the paving business was such a good economic decision, why did the minister feel that it was okay to mislead Nova Scotian's about the government and not give the complete truth about why it was more expensive? (Interruptions)

MR. SPEAKER: Order, please. The word "misleading" in that context is unparliamentary.

MR. YOUNGER: I think if you checked with the Clerk, Mr. Speaker . . .

HON. FRANK CORBETT: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, I would ask you, if you can find it, to review the resolution put forward by the member for Dartmouth East because I believe some of the language used in that was unparliamentary.

MR. SPEAKER: The honourable member for Dartmouth East.

MR. ANDREW YOUNGER: Mr. Speaker, I would encourage you to review it because it's not unparliamentary. It's a quote from a magazine article - and not language - that I provided to the House, which under Beauchesne's rules of order is allowed.
